This study examines the level of integral leadership used by managers in the manufacturing industry in Ciudad Juarez (Mexico) and the impact of leadership style on social, operational, and environmental performance. The literature review included over 180 articles on leadership, social, operational, and environmental performance, and it allowed us to design a questionnaire. The dimensions and factors of each latent variable were integrated into a questionnaire applied to the Mexican Maquiladora industry. One hundred fifty-six valid questionnaires were obtained and analyzed using a structural equation model (SEM) based on partial least squares (PLS) to validate the three hypotheses or relationships between variables. The findings indicate that leadership impacts three industrial performances: social, operational, and environmental. This study provides a framework for developing leaders in the Mexican maquiladora industry, demonstrating that investing resources in developing integral leaders is better.
