Abstract

The rise of tourism in Indonesia has brought numerous advantages to local communities. However, managing tourism villages presents several challenges, particularly due to the diversity of human resources. This study aims to investigate the effects of persuasive and integrative leadership on the collaborative performance of involved stakeholders. Additionally, it explores the role of collaborative stress within these collaborative endeavors. This study involved representative respondents in Indonesia’s village tourism sector, and the data were analyzed using SEM-PLS. The findings indicate that persuasive leadership plays a more dominant role in the Indonesian context. The study’s conclusion highlights that persuasive leadership significantly enhances collaborative performance in village tourism, aligning with previous research that emphasizes the importance of effective communication in leadership. © Universiti Putra Malaysia Press.
