| Abstract: |
In this study we aim to explain the patterns of leadership roles for team
effectiveness in non economic organizations compared to economic
organizations. For this purpose, we studied three successful organization
types, i.e the amateur sports clubs (football, basketball), theater companies
and, regional folk groups. Our basic hypothesis is that the relationship
between the type of organization (specially teams) and the role of leadership
is not random. Therefore, we believe that an empirical approach is necessary
to test the assumptions about leadership and team effectiveness. Also these
empirical results are supposed to lead to professional managers in economic
organizations. First, we constructed thirteen key dimension variables for
leadership behavior as follows: coaching, effective communication, encouraging
teamwork, establishing high standards and getting results, effective
delegation, rewarding performance, developing and releasing employees,
building consensus, supporting reasonable risk- taking, forecast thinking,
improving the organization, managing diversity, and overall effectiveness .
Second, we defined team standards and effectiveness in twenty items. And
finally, we tried to emphasize factors affecting leadership roles and team
effectiveness. In this study, Natemeyer and Babko (1992) Management Practices
Survey data are used. Data reliability are tested before the analysis and
results are discussed at the end of the study. |
