Abstract
The aim of this study is to explore resonant leadership and the factors influencing its formation in a regional electricity company using a qualitative approach. In this research, qualitative methodology, thematic analysis strategy, and semi-structured interviews were used to collect data. Participants included senior and middle-level managers, as well as employees with experience in organizational leadership. Data were collected through 16 semi-structured interviews. By analyzing the data based on the participants' perspectives, six themes were identified, categorized into two groups: long-term and comprehensive causes, and short-term and specific causes. These six concepts include the manager's strategic thinking and planning, organizational justice, empowerment, training, meritocracy, and specialization. The core phenomenon, based on the participants' views, identified six themes that were classified into two categories: alignment behavior and alignment attitude. These six concepts include courage, being supportive, friendly relationships, commitment and authenticity, creating a vision and goal orientation, and trust-building. Based on these findings, it is recommended that the leaders of the regional electricity company emphasize the development of strategic thinking and long-term planning to strengthen resonant leadership. Furthermore, focusing on organizational justice and empowering employees through training and merit-based selection can enhance resonant behaviors and improve the alignment of individual and organizational goals. Creating an environment where friendly relationships, trust, and authenticity between employees and leaders are established will lay the foundation for the success of resonant leadership within the organization.
