AN EXAMINATION OF
LEADERSHIP STYLE ADOPTED BY ORGANIZATION
ABSTRACT
This study is specifically aimed at examining the leadership
style adopted by the organisation with the particular reference to College of
Education Agbor and Delta State University Abraka, Delta State.
In accomplishing this task the writing surveyed the opinion
of leaders of the above organisation and got the necessary information about
the style of leadership they adopt. The
growth of their business compared with their leadership styled, communication
system adopt by the leadership problems encountered by the leaders in
performing their task, grievance and motivation as criteria for high employee
commitments.
The research method used to descriptive based on the
information generated from primary and secondary data collection.
However, observation showed that democratic style of
leadership is preferable to other styles but situation in the organisation
could equally determine when other styles can be combined to compliment the
democratic style, hence no particular leadership style suits all situation.
Therefore, the success or failure of any organisation relies
more on the style of leadership adopted at any interval.
Thus, the problem of leadership style is determined by the
quality of the leader and his relationship with his workers. In proper channel of communication as well as
lack of motivation factors and grievance mishandling also contributes heavily
to the leaders failure.
Based on the findings, understanding every situation and
administration the leadership style that best suits each situation will
eventually make organisation to achieve their objectives. However, motivating
employees and the use of a proper channel of communication in accordance with
their organizational structure will reduce conflicts in the organizations and
at the same time enhance effective leadership in their organisation.
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF
THE STUDY
There are several reasons why organizations are
establishing. These reasons
could be for either profit making purpose on not profit
making purposes charitable organizations that are philanthropic in nature and
not profit making oriented. While on the
other hand, profit making oriented organizations which as into business may be
set up either by the government or by individuals or it could be a combination
of both the government and the individuals.
In which ever case, their main purpose is to make profit by providing
goods and services to people either in large or small scale. One of the most vital objective of setting up
business in any organisation is profit making among others. For actual success of any set objective of
any organisation, it would depend on the activities functions and contributions
of management in terms of leadership.
Nwabuoku (2003) defined leadership as a term used to
described capabilities or qualities of a person who organizes, directs and
control others for the purpose of attaining the set goals for a group or
society. It is the processes of
influencing the activities and behaviour of an individual or group in and
effort to attain a goal for the group.
It is also used to describe a person’s status or position of authority
or power. In this way, the success or
failure of the group or society is in most times attributed to the
effectiveness or ineffectiveness of the leader.
For example, strong political parties or effecting government or
discipline shows are traced to those in position of authority or leadership in
these institution.
Leadership is an important function in any organisation and
it has been viewed from different perspectives by different people. Different
approaches are been applied to its study.
The researcher is therefore concerned about the examination
of the different leadership styles adopted by management in their aim to
achieve the objective or their aorganisation with reference to college of
education Agbor and Delta state University Abraka, Delta State.
There are many leadership styles in existence adopted by the
different organisation all over the world.
According to Kurt Lewin (1938), he said that leadership can be
autocratic, participative and laisserfame.
He went further to explain that since each leadership style has it’s
attendant problems, the choice of the particular style that should be adopted
universally in organizations so as to achieve growth and efficiency becomes a
crucial decision facing any management.
However, the function of a leader as many and varied,
depending on the basic problem a group has to deal with. The function usually pertain to the manner in
which a established and works towards it’s goals, the problems that arise in maintaining
a cohesive of a common symbol which the organisation member can identify with
and the way in which the group itself relates to other group of individuals.
The leader may serve as a policy maker, helping the group to
defines it’s tasks and establish it’s goals.
Having done this, the leader may formulate a plan that would enable the
task to be completed and the goals reached.
As an executive, it is his duty to coordinate the activities of the
various sub-group members in accordance with the over all plan. As possessing more knowledge and better view
of the “big picture” the leader may serve as an expert in directing the
management toward it’s goals.
Management or group member sometime need a common symbol with
which to identify the organisation like a sign, slogan and a flag, etc. The leader may serve as model whose member
can emulate and identify with.
The leader represents the group when dealing with other group
and also helps solve inter-management/group problems while protecting the
interest of her group.
There are two major types of leadership:
- Transactional
leadership – helps the group to accomplish various transaction
and objective.
- Transforming
leadership – that recognizes the underlying motivation of
members and fully engages them in such a way as to transform
them to potential leaders. That is to
the extent that the leader is able to perform, transforming function, group
members are helped to transcend their ordinary role of the following and become
agents of leadership itself.
Thus the function of leadership is therefore to induce all
subordinate to contribute willingly to organizational goals in accordance with
the maximum capabilities.
1.2 STATEMENT OF
PROBLEM
One of the most researched and least understood variables of
the management process is leadership.
For century is scholars have been speculating on the nature of
leadership. Only in recent year’s have
researchers conducted systematic investigation that have yielded useful. In sight into the dimensions of leading yet, there
are still difficulties in establishing the fact that leadership achieves
desired result.
A leader who is the person that occupies a position in a
group influence other’s in accordance with the role expectation for that
position and coordinate and directs the group in maintaining itself and
reaching it’s goals. But there are still
failure, in attaining the objectives of organisation. Why?
Is the problem with the leader or the lead?
At a time organisation choose the wrong leadership style
which is counter productive. How can an
organisation choose the right leadership style to operative with?
Organisation structure affects the realization of goals.
The functional
structure adopted by many organisation is line-staff, structure, staff
structure is advisory in role while the managements. The line structure gives orders to
subordinate manager who because of nature of the position management attain
it’s goals. As a result, this line-staff
structure produces the ultimate decision in the scheme of things and who plays
the advisory role. Why these conflicts
and what solutions should been remedy them?
Some leaders or managers lack the leadership qualities. How can one identify the visionary,
charismatic tolerant, intelligent and humble leader?
There are the personality traits that a good leader will
possess. Can we seen it in our leaders
today? How can we plea our leader’s,
it’s by individual personality, intelligence and aptitude determined
inheritance or is the individual primarily a product of his environment and
experience pertinent, this research work is aimed at determining who structure,
individual/personality characteristic and how it affects the realization of the
organisation objectives.
The work is also intend to find out whether leaders organize
the position in a way as to carry
management and staff along in the organizational set-up and they do to what
extent do they exercise the leadership power and style to elicit positive
attitude from the employees toward increased commitment.
This question may be asked:
Is there one leadership style that can suit every organisation?

PURPOSE OF STUDY

associated with the prevailing circumstance.
Time being the bane of every work
Such as this, is a major constrain since the work has to be combined
with class work. The little available
time has to be shared between lectures and this field of work.
There exist also problems associated with respondents to the
questionnaires. Some of them in most
cases were not available on their seats to fill in the required information and
one has to repeat on miss such respondents.
Instances abound where respondents evade the questions or intentionally
give biased responses making the analysis very difficult. There were cases of unreturned or misplaced
questionnaires.
Financial burden which cannot be burn adequately by the
writer make her to restrict the study to College of Education, Agbor and Delta
State University, Abraka.
