Research Question 1: Are task-oriented and relations-oriented leadership behaviors
related to different dimensions of organizational climate in a non-profit organization?
The primary purpose of this empirical study is framed by the theory that task-oriented
and relations-oriented leadership behaviors are positively related to the employees’
perception of organizational climate. This study introduces the theoretical perspective
and examines the relevant literature that supports the significance of leadership
behavior and organizational climate. The methodology for conducting the study was
the use of two quantitative instruments aimed at determining the relative contribution
that the independent variables (task-oriented or relations-oriented leadership
behaviors) have on the dependent variables (the different dimensions of organizational
climate).
