As a leader's behavior can have a strong impact on different employee work-related outcomes, various approaches have been put forth in an effort to determine the most effective form of leadership and determinants of individuals' choice of leadership style. This paper analyzed whether one's choice of leadership style is due more to personal or organizational characteristics. We used survey data to investigate the determinants of Leadership style among Montenegrin managers. Our analysis showed that, although demographic characteristics such as gender, age, and education do not influence the choice of leadership style, internal organizational characteristics such as hierarchical level, managerial orientation to tasks/people, and decision-making characteristics such as decision-making style and decision-making environment are positively associated with the choice of democratic leadership style. This contributes to recent research in leadership that shows how some personal characteristics are considered to be less important in developing certain styles and that the choice of style is more dependent and contingent on external influences and situations.Abstract (other language)
Obnašanje vodje ima lahko močan vpliv na različne izide, povezane z delom zaposlenega, zato so bili razviti različni pristopi za najučinkovitejši stil vodenja in dejavnikov za izbiro stila vodenja. Namen prispevka je analizirati, ali na izbiro stila vodenja vplivajo bolj osebni ali bolj organizacijski dejavniki. Pri proučevanju dejavnikov stila vodenja med črnogorskimi menedžerji je analiza podatkov iz raziskave pokazaLa naslednje: demografski podatki, kot so spol, starost in izobrazba, ne vplivajo na izbiro stila vodenja, interne organizacijske značilnosti, kot sta hierarhična raven in menedžerska usmeritev k nalogam/ ljudem, in značilnosti odločanja, kot sta stil odločanja in odločevalsko okolje, pa so pozitivno povezane z izbiro demokratičnega stila vodenja. Ta prispevek k novejšim raziskavam o vodenju káže, da so nekatere osebne značilnosti upoštevane kot manj pomembne pri razvoju določenega stila in da je izbira stila bolj odvisna od zunanjih vplivov in razmer.Subjects / Keywords
