Abstract

Five hundred and twenty-three executives of the BHEL rated their leadership styles; 390 of them also completed a Motivational Climate Scale designed to measure the factors of achievement expert influence, extension (i.e., growth), affiliation, dependency, and control. The leadership styles and their factorized dimensions were correlated with climatic factors. The results disclosed meaningful patterns of interrelations among and between leadership styles and climatic factors suggesting the existence of a state of partially balanced reciprocal influence relationship between the motivational climate of an organization and the use of leadership styles. The findings are interpreted to develop a hypothesis that leadership styles are not a part of personality dispositions.
