For law firms, the first approach toward the improved service quality is to focus on human resource management, beacuse only with high-quality employees can a law firm deliver good services and attract more profitable clients. To achieve this goal, the law firm must provide the employees with a good work environment for further study and development. In doing this, the accountants shall motivate the employees with leadership behaviors so as to deliver better work performance. Moreover, the trust relationship of the employees is a significant intangible resource for the firm, since a stable trust relationship can stimulate the passions and improve the capacities of the staff and encourage them to make continuous contributions to the organization. Thus, this study aims to explore how the accountants’ leadership behaviors affect both the employees’ trust relationship and the work performance.
This study conducted a questionnaire survey on small and medium-sized accounting firms in Taiwan and made an empirical analysis by means of SPSS statistics. The empirical results showed that the accountants’ leadership behaviors have a significant effect on both the employees’ trust relationship and the work performance, with the former as the mediating variable.
This study not only reveals the effect of the accounts’ leadership behaviors on the performance of the organization, but further finds out that the employees commitment and dedication to the firm is the key to achieve perfect work performance. In this sense, this study provides suggestions for future studies and for accounting firms. The results of the questionnaire survey may also serve as the reference for the study of the impacts on the management performance of accounting firms.
