| Summary: | 博士 === 元智大學 === 管理研究所 === 96 === An empirical study on the situational model of Chinese organizational implicit leadership style
The majority of leadership theory was developed by the West lately. Due to different culture and history, the western research and terminology seldom bring the Orientals the same feeling and meanings. This thesis tries to provide a local theory, "the situational model of Chinese organizational implicit leadership style", to help Chinese to understand the model of Chinese leadership by the point of Chinese themselves and also to find the common points between the West and the East from different system of leadership and terminology .
The major of this research is to investigate the fit relations between the Chinese implicit leadership style and the situation of the organizational culture. It aims to know what typical types of leadership one leader will have under different situations and how he will lead his organization in transition and finally develops "the situational model of Chinese organizational implicit leadership style". Three studies were included here to lead us to get structures. Study I, based on the ancient Chinese literature and historical cases, four types of Chinese implicit leadership were generalized as Xia, Jiang, Xiang, and Xiao Xiong, which were concluded via questionnaire according to the characteristics of some ancient persons. Study II, to highlight the "implicit leadership", the questionnaire was used again and proved that the style of leadership of Chinese is implicit. Study III, to discuss which style of leadership is the most effective one in different situational models of organizational culture.
This thesis shows the organizational culture as followed culture, vitalized culture, bureaucratic culture and stagnant culture and organizational life cycle as the start-up stage, the growth stage, the maturity stage and the decline stage to fit relations. The conclusions are as in the followings:
1. In the followed organizational culture, Xia is the most effective leadership style.
2. In the vitalized organizational culture, Jiang is the most effective leadership style.
3. In the situation of the bureaucratic organizational culture (maturity stage), Xiang is the most effective leadership style.
4. In the situation of the stagnant organizational culture (decline stage), Xiao Xiong is the most effective leadership style.
