Leadership styles, organizational culture and organizational effectiveness: a study of multilatinas

The relationship of leadership and organizational culture on performance has been empirically proven (Eppard, 2004), determining that the combination of transformational leadership and constructive culture yields in positive job performance, while on the contrary, transactional leadership and defensive culture has negative outcome. Given that both leadership and culture are constructs with differentiated variables (Bass & Avolio, 1993; Cooke & Szumal, 2000), different combinations of leadership style and organizational culture, could result in various outcome scenarios. Previous scholar findings about leadership and culture frameworks are abundant in developed economies, not so much in emerging regions such as Latin America, the latter with increasing importance in the worldwide economy. Particularly multilatinas, face the challenge of short term economic hurdles, outstanding therefore the importance of improving knowledge of leadership and organizational culture as key drivers for sustained growth and evolution.
