| dc.description.abstract | Past research has indicated that levels of organizational commitment vary with leadership styles practiced by managers. When interacting with subordinates, managers have to pay special attention to their subordinates' values and how they perceive their leaders pertaining to their beliefs, practices and preferences in dealing with their immediate superior. Managers have to recognize that their subordinates are human beings, not just as those who are expected to do the job. Hence this study seeks to provide answers to the issues of socio-cultural values in Malaysia and how it influences the leadership styles of the leaders. It also sees the impact of these relationships towards organizational commitment. The study involved 112 respondents from various organizations in the northern region of Malaysia. The findings have resulted in only partial acceptance of the hypothesis. Nevertheless these findings revealed some interesting results. The findings indicate that Malaysians prefer nurturant-task and participative leadership styles. Autocratic leadership style is not favored. Socio-cultural values do influence leadership style although the strength on some influence is rather weak. This present study is of significant value for managers and investors who intends to venture business in Malaysia to understand that different socio-cultural values exist in Malaysia and how the relationship with leadership styles affect organizational commitment. Thus managers are able to use the information in this study to adapt and adopt the best leadership style suited to the Malaysian environment. | en_US |
