Abstract

The competitive market supported by dynamic environments, have always been the main reason to maintain sustainability in organizations. Every organization aims for the infinite period, therefore the people who work for the organization must cultivate their best effort in order to achieve organization’s goals. As the competition keeps on increasing, organization has to improve and maintain its bargaining power. Its bargaining power includes people that operate the systems, thus to have highly competence people who give maximum contribution might be one of organization’s strengths. Leadership is the way to persuade subordinate activities by communication process to gain the goal (Gibson, Ivanchevich, & Donnelly, 1995). Leadership is a part of cultural and as a cultural element, is developed and to provide supplementary evidence on the existence of a statistically significant relationship between cultural type and leadership style using empirical data (Glick, 2001). Organizational culture’s researchers have suggested an interactive relationship between an organization’s top leaders and organizational culture in fact exists, the empirical data remain scant (Huang, Cheng, & Chou, 2005). This is an applied research that has purpose: knowing relationship between organizational culture and leadership.
