Leadership Influences Organizational Culture And Employee...

â€Å"There is a need for greater attention to be paid to understanding the mechanisms and processes through which leadership influences organizational culture and employee commitment, in order to develop a more complete understanding of the inner workings of leadership† (Bass, as cited by Aolio et al 2004 p.952) . Ellemers, Gilder, and Haslam (2004) agree that â€Å"additional understanding of work motivation can be gained by incorporating insights into social identity processes† (p. 459). Since motivational processes may be processed in group contexts, similarly as they are [do] in individual goals or outcomes, it is advantageous to understand how people are energized to engage in behaviors that are significant primarily at a collective level†¦show more content†¦Cooke and Rousseau, in their article Problems of Complex Systems: A Model of System Problems Solving Applied to Schools, agree that a study of school culture and leadership behaviors, along with organization commitment and social identity (identities affecting beliefs, values, and assumptions) will assist educators to think sophisticatedly in â€Å"comprehending complex relations in schools, processing inputs, determining the obstacles in front of change, and problem solving† (Recepoglu 2013 p. 43). Cooke and Rousseau (1981) along with Dunning (2009), assert that â€Å"all systems are characterized by the property of entropy - the tendency to move toward a state of maximum disorder or disorganization† (Cooke and Rousseau, p.16, Dunning 2009). The field of education, as a complex system, has inefficient reform efforts against entropy. Fullane Miles (1992) purport â€Å"as reform is an even more complex system, reform as a systemic process needs to continuously explore the key [number] aspects of school inputs and the structures that create continuous improvement† (p. 746). Schoen and Teddlie (2008) express the need for â€Å"research with designs that include a variety of data sources on all the dimensions and levels of school culture† (p.146). â€Å"Prior research suggests that work experiences, personal and organizational factors
