Journal Title: Caspian Journal of Applied Sciences Research - Year 2012, Vol 1, Issue 11
Abstract
The link between managers’ effective leadership style and improving productivity at the organizational and personal level is an interesting topic for all administrative system during Reform Program. Leadership style is the ability to influence people to achieve desired goals and productivity, the degree to which an organization succeeds to use resources to achieve objectives. Studies demonstrated that general performance of the state organizations is lower than expected by policy makers. Lack of productivity culture and leadership style of public managers may due to such results. This study builds on the existing literature to propose two hypotheses about how managers’ leadership style related to their organizations’ productivity in terms of public managers’ perspective. Multi source approach is used to collect survey data from 314 public managers (all levels) of state run organizations in Guilan Province of Iran. A Pearson and multiple correlation coefficient and descriptive methods used to analysis collected data. The findings support a direct and positive link between style of leadership that has been labeled as ‘‘transformational-transactional’’ and state runs’ productivity. Furthermore, managers’ age along with leadership style was positively related to productivity.
