The relationship between leadership stlye, organizational situation supporting leaders and organizational effectiveness : a case study of tambon administrative organization in Roi-Et province
Abstract:
This research was a survey to study leadership style, ‘organizational situation supporting
leaders’ (the leaders who have good leader-member relations, task structure and position power)
following the theory of Fiedler, and organizational effectiveness, and then analyze the relationships
between them. The targeted population was the chairman of the Tambon Administrative Organization
in each census of Roi-Et Province, totaling 186 persons. The data was collected by sending a
questionnaire through the post to the 186 chairmen of the Tambon Administrative Organizations. All of
the chairmen replied, giving a 100% response rate.
The research results found that most chairmen of the Tambon Administrative Organizations
were relationship-oriented leaders, and organizational situation supporting leaders were at a moderate
level of ability. Considering each aspect, it revealed that the relationship between the average chairman
of a Tambon Administrative Organization in Roi-Et Province and his subordinates was moderate; the
task structure was precise and the position power was full. From the overview, Tambon Administrative
Organizations in Roi-Et Province had a high organizational effectiveness. According to the analysis
through Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation Coefficient and Multiple Regression Analysis, it is
found that :
1) The leadership style did not relate to the organizational effectiveness, disagreeing with the
research hypothesis.
2) The organizational situation supporting leaders related to the organizational effectiveness,
following the research hypothesis. Also the trend of the relation was positive.
3) The leadership style had a relation to the organizational situation supporting leaders.
The suggestion from the research is that the Tambon Administrative Organization should pay
attention to organizational situation supporting leaders, which use good leader-member relations, task
structure and position power, in order to support the chairman of the Tambon Administrative
Organization to work at high effectiveness.
