| Summary: | 碩士 === 淡江大學 === 企業管理學系碩士在職專班 === 96 === The effectiveness of leadership skill may be different in different organizations. Many leaders who found success in one organization, may fail in another. It is therefore important for leaders to remain in an organization that suits for them. Take the Armed Forces-including the army, the navy, and the air force-as the example, their targets depend on what kinds of tasks they take, what styles and war positions they have. Therefore, this research sets out with a discussion to see what types of leadership styles our Armed Forces adopt, and how different organizational culture a leadership style leads to. Most importantly, to find out how these factors contribute to high leadership effectiveness.
The research aims to deal with three issues. First, analyze the leadership type of the Armed Forces, and discuss how leadership effectiveness would be affected by different types of leadership. Second, look into the organizational culture of the Armed Forces, and compare their differences. Third, discuss how the organizational culture in the Armed Forces influences the leadership types and leadership effectiveness. The research will take our Armed Forces, including the army, the navy, and the air force as the object for sampling. In addition, three main variables I will take into consideration in this research are as follows: firstly, types of leadership styles, and secondly, organizational culture, and finally, leadership effectiveness.
The field research will be conducted by using questionnaires to collect data for sampling. Expectedly, there will two hundred and ninety-seven copies of effective questionnaires sampled for statistic analysis. The methods used in analysis are many, including descriptive statistical analysis, reliability analysis, regression analysis, one-way ANOVA analysis, and the comparison with Scheffe post-hoc method.
The following conclusions may be drawn from this research.
1.In the army force the style leadership type is of
transactional leadership, whereas in the navy and the
air force, they tend to follow transformational
leadership style. The research also shows that the
leadership style adopted by each of the Armed Forces has
an apparent positive influence on leadership
effectiveness.
2.Their organizational cultures are different, in that the
army force is established by hierarchy; where as the
navy and the air forces tend to form a clan.
3.The organizational culture of each of the Armed Forces
has a positive influence on leadership styles and
leadership effectiveness.
