Abstract:
The purpose of this research study was to explore the topic of organizational communication in higher education and examine staff members’ perceptions about their level of communication and job satisfaction in their workplaces. This study was also designed to test the relationship between communication satisfaction and job satisfaction by analyzing the significance of different dimensions of Communication Satisfaction with the view that satisfaction is multifaceted. The results of the study indicated that gender differences and the number of years in service do not seem to make a significant difference in the level of satisfaction among staff members, but the level of education and job classification seem to make a significant difference in the level of satisfaction among staff members. There were strong positive relationships found among all 8 dimensions of Communication Satisfaction Questionnaire (CSQ ), which indicated that staff members when felt positive about 1 dimension of CSQ, also tended to feel positive about other dimensions of CSQ. A strong positive relationship and statistically significant correlation was found between overall communication satisfaction and job satisfaction scores, indicating that when staff members feel satisfied with communication in their workplace, they also tend to feel satisfied with their job in their workplace.

Abstract:
The purpose of this research study was to explore the topic of organizational communication in higher education and examine staff members’ perceptions about their level of communication and job satisfaction in their workplaces. This study was also designed to test the relationship between communication satisfaction and job satisfaction by analyzing the significance of different dimensions of Communication Satisfaction with the view that satisfaction is multifaceted. A total of 463 non-faculty staff members from different units of a single higher education institution participated in this study. This study included non-teaching staff, including student workers and both full-time and part-time staff members. A modified version of Communication Satisfaction Questionnaire (CSQ) developed by Downs and Hazen was used to collect data. The study used a Likert-type scale with a 7-point scale and had eight dimensions (personal feedback, relationship to supervisors, horizontal and informal communication, organizational integration, organizational perspective, communication climate, media quality, and job satisfaction). The statistical analyses of the data from eight research questions revealed some significant relationships and differences. The results found that staff members perceived their level of satisfaction with communication satisfaction dimensions personal feedback, relationship to supervisors, horizontal and informal communication, organizational integration, and media quality from somewhat satisfied to satisfied, and communication satisfaction dimensions organizational perspective and communication climate as somewhat satisfied. The results found significant differences among different dimensions of CSQ, indicating that communication satisfaction is multi-faceted. The staff members perceived their level of job satisfaction to be among somewhat satisfied to satisfied range. The results indicated that gender and number of years in service do not seem to make a significant difference among staff members’ level of satisfaction, but level of education and job classification does. There were strong positive relations found among all dimensions of CSQ. A strong positive relationship and statistically significant correlation was found between overall communication satisfaction and job satisfaction scores, indicating that when staff members feel satisfied with communication in their workplace, they also tend to feel satisfied with their job in their workplace.

Abstract:
This thesis investigates how an organizational change can lead to an increased share of women at top management positions. Based on interviews at Sandvik, an organization that has received extensive attention for its efforts to increase the share of female executives, the study aims to understand how an organizational culture is changed in a way that will lead to more women at top management positions. The study also aims to give an answer to how the change process is implemented and what kinds of changes in content that are needed. The empirical findings are analyzed using a theoretical framework based on change management literature and female leadership literature. The results of the study indicate that actions to increase gender diversity should be integrated in the overarching company strategy. There are further indications that it can be enough to have a personal conviction from a prominent leader within the organization to start the change process. Commitment and support from top management is thereafter vital. A final indication is that the changes in content should be aimed at changing the mindset of the employees throughout the organization.

Abstract:
Healthcare administrators have regarded employee motivation and performance as significant factors because of the challenges with employee disengagement, which may decrease patient satisfaction and profitability for healthcare organizations. The number of available jobs within healthcare continues to increase at a high rate, while the total hires within the healthcare industry decreased from 2.9% in December 2014 to 2.7% in January 2015. Motivation in the workplace is a continuous concern for organizational leaders, more specifically for the health care industry. Based on Vroom's expectancy theory, the purpose of this single-case study was to explore the motivational strategies healthcare organizations' leaders could implement to improve the performance of entry-level medical service employees. Data collection consisted of direct observation and semistructured interviews of 4 leaders and 22 entry-level medical service employees at a health care organization in the Piedmont Region of North Carolina. Data analysis included the use of multiple sources of data collection, along with the use of member checking with interview transcripts, which allowed triangulation and verification of the themes derived from the interview data. The 2 main themes revealed were workplace motivation and organizational leadership, which affects employees' performance and organizational effectiveness. Business leaders in organizations may use the findings of this study to increase employee organizational commitment, which could improve the U.S. health care industry turnover rates. Social change implications include the importance of the need for leaders to develop effective motivational strategies for motivating employees.

Abstract:
In the era of globalization and rapid change, talent management (TM) is becoming an increasingly important topic, since it sets direction for companies and the whole economies in general towards success and development. Exploring the phenomenon on the organizational or meso level, talent management techniques are implemented by organizations to attract, develop, engage, keep and deploy employees who are believed to be particularly valuable to them. By utilizing talents in a proper way, companies can increase their efficiency, add value to their brand credibility, and contribute to diversity of their corporate culture. For these reasons, top managers and HR professionals widely consider talent management to be one of their key priorities and invest largely in it. Companies that refuse to employ talent management techniques risk losing their competitive advantage, their market share and consequently their profitability. More than that, such companies remain unattractive to talented experts and cannot boast prominent financial results. This thesis gives a lot of insight into the current state of affairs concerning talent management in Russia and looks into possible problems that can arise in regard to the process of its implementation in Russian context. We found the issue of talent management in Russia to be under-researched at the moment, thus, we decided to make a contribution to the study of the concept. We carried out our research through a multi-level perspective because we are positive that there is a strong interplay between different contexts regarding talent management implementation in Russia. The obtained empirical findings have provided us with the knowledge that there is a number of obstacles hindering development of TM in Russia. More than that, we found that the approach to TM fully depends on the origin of a company.

Abstract:
Historically, leadership research has focused on managers’ characteristics and behavior, their leadership style and its implications for a business’s success. In contrast, this dissertation examines how working conditions in the workplace affect first-level managers’ everyday work, their possibilities to practice leadership, and consequently their leadership style. The theoretical framework guiding the dissertation is a gender analysis with a doing gender perspective and the methodology is a case study. Two workplace organizations in a Swedish municipality are studied: a male-dominated manufacturing industry and a female-dominated elderly care service. The empirical materials consist of twenty-six semi-structured interviews, primarily with male and female first-level managers, but also with their immediate supervisors. In addition, the materials include a questionnaire and organizational documents. The results show that organizational structure and culture have implications for managers’ working conditions and consequently the leadership style they are willing and able to implement. The sex ratio among employees did not have any implications for which type of leadership informants described in their everyday practices. The ideal leadership and the everyday leadership practices portrayed by informants entail being explicit, controlling and rational managers who are able to make decisions and carry forth extensive structural changes. Their narratives reveal an authoritarian and task-oriented leadership style that has its roots in early industrialism. Leadership is strongly marked by masculinity, and even though women and men describe practicing the same type of leadership in their everyday work, their ideas about gender depict two complete opposites in which women and femininity is subordinated to men and masculinity. This indicates a divergence between the gender we think and the gender we do. Nonetheless, sex ratio among employees has implications for the level of sexism. While informants in both workplace organizations described gender discrimination, only those in the manufacturing industry described experiencing sexual harassment.

Clements, Vicki L. "The essential leadership and management skills of mid-level managers in non-profit organizations." Thesis, Pepperdine University, 2013. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=3568447.

Full text
Abstract:

The role of the middle manager in organizations is evolving. As organizations shift from strictly hierarchical structures to ones that are increasingly horizontal and interconnected through team-based collaborations, middle managers are being asked to assume more leadership responsibilities in addition to their traditional management duties. While there is agreement that both leadership and management skills are required for organizations to be successful, there is limited information on the specific skills that are required to both manage and lead from the middle.

Mid-level managers who successfully develop both skill sets are well positioned for future leadership positions. Preparing middle managers for senior level responsibility is of particular importance to non-profit organizations which are currently facing a significant deficit in the leadership pipeline. To fully develop their human capital, senior level executives in non-profit organizations need to have a good understanding of the management and leadership skills they desire in their middle managers.

The purpose of this study was to explore, with senior level executives in non-profit organizations, the management and leadership skills they value in their middle managers. The study was designed using the Delphi Method approach of identification, shared evaluation and re-evaluation, and finally consensus among the executives, to determine the most desired and essential management and leadership skills. At the conclusion of the process, 11 senior level executives identified 11 management and leadership skills they believe are essential for effective mid-level management. 4 management skills were considered to be critical: (a) focused on the mission, (b) organized, (c) communication, and (d) accountability. 7 leadership skills were identified as essential: (a) authenticity, (b) promotes healthy organizational culture, (c) values human capital, (d) takes responsibility, (e) creates alignment, (f) provides senior level support, and (g) relationship building.

Recognizing that organizations are stronger and healthier when both skill sets are present, the findings in this study may be used to identify current strengths and weaknesses within the management structure of a non-profit organizations so that training and hiring adjustments can be made, and to create training programs to better prepare mid-level managers for future executive positions in order to build a strong leadership pipeline.

Abstract:

Managing employees from different cultural and national backgrounds within international business organizations is one of the greatest challenges that mid-level leaders face in the new millennium because of the broad range of communication difficulties that can arise (Cox, 1991; Cupach & Imahori, 1993; Fitzsimmons, 2013; Ietto-Gillies, 2005; Lisak & Erez, 2015; Oliveira, 2013). The purpose of this quantitative study was to examine and evaluate the effectiveness of the communication strategies and tactics of mid-level leaders in one major multinational company with a sizable multinational workforce, Saudi Aramco. The theoretical framework for this study was Communication Accommodation Theory (e.g., Giles, 2014; Giles, Coupland, & Coupland, 1991, 2007). The principal survey instrument employed was the Communication Satisfaction Questionnaire (Downs & Hazen, 1977).

Only 7 demographic variables (education, age, gender, nationality match, language match, income, and duration of time with the company) had any significant correlations with the Seven Dimensions Of Communication Satisfaction proposed by Downs and Hazen (1977), but the strength of all those correlations was weak, with the exception of education. The more education the participants had, the more satisfied they were with their job.

Interestingly, in a culture in which gender differences play such an important role, there were no significant differences by gender in the workforce at Saudi Aramco. It was notable however, that the most satisfied employees were those who had been at the company the longest. National and language differences also played almost no role in employee satisfaction, most likely because the whole workforce is fluent in English. The employees did place some significance on what Suchan (2014) describes as Arabic styles of persuasion, which favor: (a) the use of repetition and paraphrasing to make a point, (b) the use of highly ornate and metaphoric language, and (c) the use of strong emotion.

Finally, in comparing the employees’ responses to Goleman’s (2000) Six Styles of Leadership, the researcher discovered that the workers at Saudi Aramco relate most of all to Goleman’s affiliative, coaching, and democratic leadership styles.

Abstract:

This quantitative study was an exploration of police officers’ in Puerto Rico level of trust, perception of leadership style, and perceived leadership effectiveness in two different contexts, normal contexts and life-threatening contexts. Data were collected through a web-based system, SurveyMonkey®, where police officers from Puerto Rico completed an online survey. The survey instrument included the Leadership Style Survey by Dr. Peter Northouse, the Global Trust Scale by Dr. Jason Colquitt, and the Perception of Leadership Effectiveness Scale published in Psych Articles. The sample included 128 sworn, active duty police officers from Puerto Rico. The findings of this study revealed that demographics such as age, sex, and years on the force were not related to trust in the supervisor by the police officers. The study findings further revealed that police supervisors in Puerto Rico demonstrated an authoritarian leadership style in both normal contexts and life-threatening contexts. Multiple regression analysis showed that high levels of authoritarian leadership styles are related to high levels of trust. Although the study findings revealed that, overall, leaders’ skills were rated on the subscale as moderately bad, authoritarian leaders were also perceived as effective leaders in both normal contexts and life threatening contexts.

Abstract:
Previous research has indicated that leadership affects employee behavior, but additional research could explain how this relationship is mediated. The purpose of this correlational, quantitative design study was to test the mediating effects of employee income level on the relationship between leadership and employee behavior within the United States. The general problem for leaders is the lack of a comprehensive understanding regarding the relationship between their leadership and employee behavioral outcomes. The specific management problem is that unintended employee behavioral outcomes may be due to leadership decisions made without consideration given to the mediating effects of employee income level. Based on Adams's equity theory, the primary research question for this study was 'How does income level affect the relationship between leadership and employee behavior?' To answer this question I collected a dataset of 95 individuals using an online survey through Qualtrics. Income level was examined as a mediation variable between leadership styles and employee behavior in this study; however, there was no significant relationship between leadership and employee behavior present in the dataset. It was hypothesized that income level partially mediates the relationship between leadership and employee behavior, but the results indicated that income level does not mediate the relationship between leadership and employee behavior. This research is relevant to the field of management and has a positive social change implication because it demonstrates that the understanding regarding leaders and employees may not be as significantly correlated as previously demonstrated.

Abstract:
One of the challenges facing community colleges in the United States is the looming retirements of executive/senior-level leadership, particularly the president, on a wide scale. This study explored the career aspirations of executive-level leaders within the community college using Social Cognitive Career Theory as the conceptual framework. Within the context of a three-person collaborative dissertation project, a mixed methods case study approach was utilized for the research design. It first examined the perceived and preferred organizational culture(s) by administering the Organizational Culture Assessment Instrument (OCAI). Building upon results of the OCAI, interviews with executive-level leaders explored how personal and institutional factors impact their aspirations of to ascend to the community college presidency. The findings of the research indicate that affecting change, being asked, and the desire to help are personal factors of influence that motivate executive-level leaders to seek the role of community college president. On the other hand, age, family, and potential work-life imbalance might dissuade executive-level leaders from seeking this role. The study reveals that organizational culture (the “culture of caring”) and leadership development are positive factors of institutional influence. Institutional factors that dissuade executive-level leaders from seeking the community college presidency are politics, the state of the institution being led, and the unknown. This study advances the field of educational leadership in that a number of personal and institutional factors are adduced that influence the aspirations of executive-level leaders to progress to the community college presidency. The findings identify the need for research across multiple institutions and the need to expand Social Cognitive Career Theory to include personal-cognitive barriers of race and gender.

Full text
Abstract:
The main purpose of the present study was to examine the leadership styles of Turkish middle-level managers and leadership prototypes of Turkish employees in terms of task-oriented and people-oriented behaviours. The secondary purpose was to investigate the effects of incongruence between actual and ideal manager perceptions on three important work outcomes: performance (task and contextual performance), job satisfaction, and organizational commitment (affective, continuance, and normative commitment). A total of 320 people working in a wide range of organizations (71 managers and 239 employees) filled out the questionnaire. Employees rated their actual managers&rsquo
leadership style and also their ideal manager&rsquo
s leadership style (i.e., leader prototype) in the same questionnaire, while the managers rated their own leadership style as well as their leadership style as perceived by their subordinates. Additionally, supervisory-rated performance and self-rated job satisfaction and organizational commitment levels of employees were obtained. Results indicated that self-reported leadership styles of Turkish managers were consisting of more people-oriented behaviours than task-oriented behaviours. On the contrary, employees perceived their managers as being more task-oriented than people-oriented. Ideal leadership style for the employees were comprised of higher levels of both task- and people-oriented behaviours than their actual managers. Incongruence between the actual and ideal manager perceptions of employees predicted job satisfaction levels of the employees only. The results are discussed together with the implications, strengths and limitations of the study. Some suggestions for future research are made.

Abstract:
In 2015, 0.2% of African American women were in chief executive officer (CEO) roles and 1.2% were in executive or senior-level roles within a 500 Standard & Poor's (S&P) organization. African American women's lived experiences are underutilized by organizational and human resources (HR) leaders in the development and implementation of recruitment, talent development, diversity and inclusion, and succession planning strategies. The purpose of this qualitative phenomenological study was to understand lived experiences regarding career advancement decision-making strategies for senior-level African American women. The conceptual framework used was social cognitive career theory (SCCT), which addresses the 'what' and 'how' of career development and behaviors across one's life span. The central research questions were about participants' decisions-making strategies used to attain senior-level management positions and how the facets of SCCT impacted their decision-making processes. Snowball sampling was the purposeful strategy used for recruiting 12 African American women who serve/served in a senior-level position within an organization. The data collections sources included interviews and field notes. By deductive and inductive coding, the main themes uncovered were leadership, family, education, authenticity, and faith. The results of this study may benefit organizational and HR leaders as they consider improvement opportunities for their recruitment, talent management, diversity and inclusion policies and programs, and succession planning strategies, inclusive of internal and college recruitment, involvement in community youth initiatives, and strategic alignment of high-level, internal organizational stakeholders.

With an increasingly change in the electronics Industry and technology Industry, employee behaviors play a critical role in organizational performance and organizational success. The accumulated empirical evidences demonstrated that intellectual capital is related to increased organizational performance and organizational success. Hence, it is essential to know what employee factors can influence intellectual capital. The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between leadership, including transformational leadership and charismatic leadership, and intellectual capital. The survey data included 35 sub-unit managers and 153 employees. This current study applied the HLM analysis to test the hypotheses. Results provided support for the main hypotheses: transformational leadership was found to have positive and significant effects on both social capital and organizational capital. This study concludes with a discussion of the theoretical and practical implications of findings.

This research is aimed to discuss how the interaction of organizational level transformational leadership and organizational citizen behavior, respectively, with individual level transformational leadership influence individual level organizational citizen behavior by two mediation effects of organizational commitment and organizational justice. A survey research was conducted using a sample from 50 school principals, 100 directors and 200 teachers collected from 50 primary schools in Chang Hwa County with 96 effective group data. Hierarchical Linear Model was used to test the hypotheses. The results of the study are as follows: (1) Transformational leadership is not positively related to organizational citizen behavior in individual level; (2) Organizational commitment has no mediation effect on transformational leadership to organizational citizen behavior in individual level; (3) Organizational justice aiso has no mediation effect on transformational leadership to organizational citizen behavior in individual level; (4) The interaction of organizational level transformational leadership and individual level transformational leadership is significantly related to individual level organizational citizen behavior; (5) The interaction of organizational level transformational leadership and individual level transformational leadership is significantly related to individual level organizational citizen behavior with the mediation effect of organizational justice in individual level; (6) Given that the cross-level influence of both transformational leadership and organizational citizen behavior in organizational level, individual level transformational leadership is also significantly related to individual level organizational citizen behavior with the individual level mediation effect of organizational justice.

With mature techniques, the cross-level analysis studies have been recommended by the researchers in the field of organization behavior in recent years. Following these points mentioned above, we develop a cross-level analysis model and examine the process linking ethical leadership and the two types of subordinates’ voice behavior. Then we put a moderation of organization justice into this model. Research subjects are 50 units of Taiwan’ military located in both Taichung country and Penghu county. In order to avoid common method variance, we collect samples from both managers and subordinates. Our results show that individual-level EL is negatively related to the two types of subordinates’ voice behavior. That’s contrary to my expectation. However, store-level distributive justice moderates the effect between individual-level ethical leadership and the two types of subordinates’ voice behavior such that the effects are the same with my expectation. Also, compared with a weaker distributive justice unit, in a higher distributive justice unit, the effect between individual-level EL and the two types of subordinates’ voice behavior are higher. This result shows an important message that a manager should not ignore the effect of store-level such as distributive justice and group climate. To get a better attitude of voice behavior, a manager needs not only to focus on EL or Trust but also to pay more attention to the interaction dynamics among subordinates. As a result, the unit or organization will get higher profit or performance.

This study investigated the effects that empowerment leadership and psychological empowerment have on organizational citizenship behavior (OCB). The subjects of the study were the southern divisions of an insurance company. Pairing questionnaires were collected from 31 managers and 239 employees at the collection departments. The data were then analyzed using various methods, such as a correlation analysis, reliability analysis, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and hierarchical linear models (HLM). The analysis results revealed that, at the staff level, the employees perceived that psychological empowerment positively affects OCB; at the group level, the supervisor’s empowerment leadership positively influences OCB; at the cross-level, psychological empowerment functions as a completely mediator between the supervisor’s empowerment leadership and the employees’ OCB. The contribution of this study is twofold. First, restrained by statistical techniques, there has been scant research in the past into the effect that empowerment leadership and psychological empowerment have on OCB at the cross-level. The majority of previous studies were carried out at a single-level. This study, however, attempted to explore the relationship among the three variables using a cross-level analysis model. Second, this study aimed to clarify psychological empowerment’s role as a mediator between empowerment leadership and OCB. The author, supported by research findings, suggest that companies should understand how empowerment leadership affects OCB via employees'' perceived psychological empowerment.

The purpose of the study is to empirically investigate the relationship among transformational leadership, organizational citizenship behavior and knowledge share through using hierarchical linear model. Research subjects are branches of 22 Taiwan cooperative banks located in both Taichung city and Taichung county. In order to avoid common method variance, we collect samples from both managers and employees. Our results show that individual-level TFL and store-level OCB climate are both positively related to knowledge share. Trust mediates the TFL and knowledge share. However, store-level OCB climate moderates the effect between store-level Trust climate and KS such that the effect is on the contrary. Also,in a higher OCB climate situation, the effect of individual-level TFL or Trust on knowledge share is higher. Nevertheless,in a weaker OCB climate situation, the effect of in store-level TFL climate or Trust climate on knowledge share is higher. This result shows an important message that a manager should not ignore the effect of store-level such as OCB climate and group climate. To get a better knowledge share, a manager need not only focuses on TFL or Trust but also pays more attention to the interaction dynamics among employees.

In the modern competitive market environment, to the outside, business organizations have to take external factors such as economic climate, product market change and business management into considerations; to the inside, business organizations have to establish organizational culture and improve personnel’s internal competitiveness. Whether it is to the outside or to the inside, the above mentioned factors are needed by business organizations to improve the competitive advantages. The leadership style of the manager may affect the subordinate’s organizational citizenship behavior and may also affect the team performance and team interaction to some extent. First-level manager may manage primary-level staff directly while second-level manager may assign tasks to primary-level staff directly without asking the first-level manager. Under the interaction between the leadership styles of two different level managers, whether the subordinates’ organizational citizenship behavior, team performance and team interact would be affected seem to be very important. The main research objectives include: 1. To discuss the effects of leadership styles of different level managers on the team performance, team interaction and subordinates’ organizational citizenship behavior; 2. To discuss the effects of the interaction between the leadership styles of different level managers on the team performance and interaction; 3. To discuss the effects of the interaction between leadership styles of different level managers on the subordinates’ organizational citizenship behavior. In the research, full-time IT personnel in Taiwan were used as the targets. Academic questionnaires were produced on the online questionnaire investigation platform. The URLs were distributed through social networking websites. The URLs were copied and pasted for convenience sampling. A total of 285 effective questionnaires were collected. With the clustering result of Inferences Based on Two Samples: Tests of Hypothesis for two samples mean, the single behavior-based leadership style, e.g. transformational leadership style or transactional leadership style, it shows the effects of leadership style on the team performance, team interaction and subordinates’ organizational citizenship behavior were not significant. Therefore, K-means clustering was used to merge and cluster the data gained from the transformational leadership style and transactional leadership style questionnaires. By categorizing the mean scores from high to low, three leadership styles were obtained: High mixed type, Intermediate mixed type and Low mixed type. The result shows that manager will not use a single behavior-based leadership style to lead the subordinates in today’s comprehensive environment. By using the multi leadership style to lead each subordinate, we can see the significant effect on team performance, team interaction and subordinates’ organizational citizenship behavior as well as the improvement of organization competitiveness. In the research, it is verified that the idea of Bass (1999) is correct in which best leaders should have both transformational leadership style and transactional leadership style. Furthermore, under mixed leadership styles of different level managers, the effects on the subordinates’ organizational citizenship behavior as well as team performance and team interaction were not significant. It is known that under the interaction between the leadership styles of different level managers, the effects on subordinates’ organizational citizenship behavior were not significant and the improvement of team performance and team interaction was not significantly changed.

To military activities, there is close relationship between success of the mission and the leadership style of a leader. And the organizational culture can reflect if the military activity has the drive for improvement and creation. From the measuring index of communication, leadership style and common projection in the organization, leadership style as most scholars thought is an important index which influences the organization function. Most studies point that leadership is the most important factor which directly influences the subordinates’ morale and satisfaction. Leader plays as a major factor in organization, because his behavior affects the operation of the organization. Thus, the performance of the organization has a close relationship with the behavior of the leader.     Because of the difference between structure and mission, the work situations we face are different. Frankly speaking, military units have stronger organizational culture, and the way of leading tends to order way. But as the system of the social value and the organization of national defense change, we are not sure that the organizational recognition and outward work performance of the employees who serve the military very long time would change not. And this is our subject we focus on.     In The Fifth Discipline, Peter Senge points out that the learning organization is being recognized as the most adaptive and competitive in changing environment. The National Defense Department connected “Learning Society” pushed by the Educational Department with “National License System” established by Labor Committee to promote caliber of the military , in another word, to plan a career-planning learning surroundings to help members get second specialties, on the other hand, to improve the whole efficiency of organization. Has the military really changed the type of organization from the mechanistic to the organic? Or has the military satisfied the needs of organization itself and the crew themselves? And this is another our subject we focus on.     Adopting questionnaire investigation, this study applies SPSS program as the analysis tool, and uses factor analysis, reliability analysis, descriptive statistics, T test, One-Way analysis of variance (One-Way ANOVA), correlation analysis, block regression analysis and cluster analysis for sampling. The purpose of this paper is to study the relationship among leadership style and organizational culture on constructing Learning organization, promoting organizational commitment and cmproving work behavior in Military Activities. Take the Republic of China Air Force Logistics Command as a sample. The research instrument of choice was a well-structured questionnaire distributed among 500 persons.
