Leadership Styles and Organisational Climate

Leadership is considered as a process where one or more persons influence a group of persons to move in certain direction. This can have and often has a strong impact on the social climate in the group through the way the leadership is executed i.e. through what is termed as leadership style (Ekvall and Ryhammer 1998). There is no one best style of leadership; that is to say what is effective for one organisation may not be effective for another (Boseman 2008). The purpose of this study was to highlight the major leadership approaches models and theories as well as theories in Organisation climate and to establish the relationship between them.
