Leadership style and organizational atmosphere in Neurotic organizations

To study the leadership style and organizational atmosphere in neurotic organizations, a sample of 145 workers from among a total of 600 in three industrial plants in Esfahaan was randomly selected. Three measures of Neurotic Organizations, Leadership Styles, and Organizational Atmosphere, with internal consistencies of over 0.85, were administered. The analyses of the data show that expressive organizations have task oriented leadership style, clear goals, and are satisfied with the bonuses received, while the schizoid organizations have relation oriented leadership style, and exhibit role clarity and procedural agreement as well. The depressed organizations seem to have both types of leadership styles. Effective communications seems to be a significant predictor of the type of organization.
