Leadership is an integral part of management operation. If
there is any single factor that differentiates between successful and
unsuccessful organization, it is effective leadership. Leadership is a social
influencing process for the attainment of goals. Umoh (2004:2), pointed out
that managers (business leaders) are basic resources of all organizations. A
great deal of work and research has been done by philosophers, researchers and
scholars, all geared towards understanding the concept of leadership.
Several definitions have been propounded, just as there
are scholars who ventured into the area of leadership (Stogdill, 1974:259).
Consequently, and based on their different perceptions of the concepts of
leadership, several theories of leadership were articulated, and presented in
different literature. Inherent in those theories are different leadership
styles and the respective situations where they are applicable. As some
organizations are taking dramatic shape since the deregulation of the economy,
many organizations have been formed, and many more are yet to be formed.
Leadership plays a vital role in every organization.
Although progress has been made in understanding leadership, nevertheless,
there is need to realize that there is no general consensus on what constitutes
the best leadership style. Leadership styles include those that are democratic,
autocratic, lassiez-faire, etc. each of these leadership styles has
far-reaching implications on the management of human and material resources of
the organization, and on corporate performance via employee satisfaction,
commitment and involvement etc. It is logical, therefore, to believe that
successful organizations have good leadership, among other things. What are the
prevailing leadership styles in such organization and how consistent are they
with existing management theories on leadership?
The
relevant questions this research seeks to answer are:
1) What is the leadership style in Nigerian Television
Authority (NTA), Abakaliki?
2) What is the effect of this leadership style on corporate
performance?
The general objective of this study is to seek the
improvement of leadership style on corporate performance. Specifically, the
project is aimed at:
1) To ascertain the type of leadership style employed by
Nigerian Television Authority, Abakaliki.
2) To determine the effect of this leadership style on
corporate performance.
In Nigeria,
forms of organizational leadership style determine the success or failure of
most firms. The significance of this research work is the understanding of the
importance of leadership style employed by Nigerian Television Authority,
Abakaliki. This study will also help other organizations to seek and adopt the
leadership style that would enhance their corporate performance. It will help
the researcher to have indebt knowledge of various leadership style used by
organization as well as identify the most appropriate one suitable for each
organization; similarly the knowledge of leadership style will help the
researcher to recommend an appropriate one that will enhance the growth and
development of the organization.
The researcher encountered several constraints in the cost
of carrying out this research work. Prominent among this constraints is the difficulties
to gather the require data for the research. This is so because NTA Channel 45
Abakaliki that constitute the case study of this work could not provide the
researcher with information on their organization profile. Secondly, there was
time constraint, the time which the researcher was expected to conclude the
research work and was so inadequate that the researcher concentrated on the few
branch. However, this constraint was overcome by making use of the available
data within the reach of the management of the organization.
This research report is presented in five chapters, the
research background including it’s statement of problems, objectives,
significance, limitation, organization of work and definition of terms are presented
in, chapter one, while chapter two and three contain critical literature view
and methodology respectively. Presentation and analysis of data come under
chapter four, while in the concluding chapter we summarize the study, draw
conclusion and make recommendations.
