CHAPTER ONE
1.0 INTORDUCTION
1.1 GENERAL
BACKGROUND TO THE SUBJECT MATTER
Leadership is an everyday act involving the skill of
leading and dealing with people the success in ruling man dominions is
contingent upon both his ability to wield power effectively and the existence
of an opportunity situation. Problem which results within organizational
members disagree on both the nature of the goals to which people aspire and the
act of leadership. Leadership as we use
the term refers to behaviour, undertaken within the context of an organization
that influence the ways in which other organizational members behave (Banclas
1960).
It could be observed that both leadership and management
envisages deeply into what the organization can achieve of the quality or
recognition is accorded to them.
Leadership has been approved to include the sources of influence that are built
into a position in an organizational sanctioned reward and punishment authority
as well as referent and expert power (Katz and Kahn 1966, p 3.3) it could be
seen however that subordinates within the organization though not all seems to
enjoy influence that exist all over and above the organization hierarchy
provided by their role in the organization.
Leadership is very essential in organization because
achievement and results occur corollary to the traits being projected by the
leader. Leadership includes the ultimate
source of power but has positive ability in persuading other individual and to
be innovative in decision making.
Problems are bound to occur within every noted
organization decision making is bound to generate conflicts while imitating
policies. People are expected to
co-ordinate whatever thing they are doing to achieve organizational goals.
In this light, the motion of leadership act are those
which help a group in meeting those stated objectives (Banaelas 1960, p 491) in
general terms act of controlling other people consist of uncertainty reduction
which entails making the kind of choice that permits the organization to
proceed its objective despite various kind of internal and external
disturbances.
The effectiveness of leadership has some characteristics
elements which includes forceful threats complete assertion of authority to the
subordinates and derived and situational responsibilities.
Note that in the society today not only presences of
rewards (positive and negative or the incentive appraised could produce
productivity both the felling of belongings.
Improper leadership qualities within has a negative impact
on the subordinates as well as the achievement of the organizational
objectives.
1.2
PROBLEM ASSOCIATED WITH THE SUBJECT MATTER
FACTORS OF LEADERSHIP
The art of controlling people to achieve organizational
goals dose not just occur circumstances environmental influences and facts are
always presented for the successful act of leadership behaviours allows the
entire manner of eliciting or helping to elicit result or influence the result
from the unknown.
This behavioural approach which holds that leaders are best
characterized by behaviours pattern rather than by individual traits (filley and
house 1969 p 393). In this context it
could be seen that the behavioural theory of leadership is that factor which is
responsibility for motivating the leaders as well as the subordinates.
The leadership behaviour has two aspects which involve
consideration and initiating structure.
The consideration aspect refers to behaviour that increases mutual trust
respects warmth and complete report between the leader and his group.
Grievances of this level may diminish as the amount of
consideration demonstrated by foreman increases. Initiating structure has to do with the
foreman’s behaviour in assigning tasks planning and deciding how thing should
be done out is the art at leadership by managers and the derived responsibility
by the subordinate considering the prevailing situation. It embodies over emphasis on the achievement
or organization goals. It is now seen that leadership is affected by the three
factors which are the leader the led and the situation otherwise the leader the
subordinates and the situation respectively.
The leader possesses some traits and characteristics
which assist him to deal with
prevailing situation. They are such
skills as the conceptual skill the human
relation, administrative managerial analytical technical and diagnostic
skill. Other includes intelligence
initiative imagination enthusiasm and communication traits. It was grouped strong will extroversion power
need and achievement need (Hanen 1961,
p.171). this eventually results to task
and personal oriented effort which will help to achieve complete success.
The subordinates or those being led also contributed in
that they want recognition in the organization in which they contribute their skill. The results is because of the difference in
status order and reorganization some
member may expect to be consulted on decision making and such
personalities could be up set by unilateral decision by the leaders (Belasco et
al lit 1981 p.146)
For leadership to be perfect a person who is skilled in
the art of leadership must be adequately consulted the leaders should have the
ability to practice judgment of circumstance in which he or she find himself or
shows that the different leader behaviour will be differently effectiveness of
the group as a whole by means of intervening variable which affects group
performance directly. The skill of
leadership are has three dimensions of ingredient the ability to varying times
depending on the contingency of the situation the ability to comprehend that
human being have differing motivating
forces the ability to inspire and the ability to act in a way that develop a
climate for responding to and arousing motivation (Kornts 1980 p 663). The leader consideration can increase
motivation and co-ordination to improve group performance through
decentralization of decision effective and participation in the organizational
system more than superficial friendliness, consideration emphasizes concern for
the need of group member and participative decision. Making any two ways
communication.
The skill level of subordinates can be motivated through
improved communication of task relevant information. On the other hand highly motivated employees
will not perform well if they lack the prerequisites knowledge and skills. The second ingredient of leadership is that
natural and rare ability to inspire the subordinates. This deal with task role
organization referring to the efficient utilization of subordinate’s skill in
the pursuit of the group’s assigned tasks.
The task role normally depends upon how well job assignments and work
methods selection are made. Ability to inspire emanates from the groups leader
who possesses the charismatic qualities that induce loyalty devotion and zeal
on the part of different skill and have different in the skill possessed by
subordinates the decision concerning job assignment will be unable to
perform. The ability to inspire is a
matter of people giving alter rustic support to a chosen champion (Korntz et al
p.63)
A third ingredient of leadership deals with the style of
the leader and the climate he or she develops as result to increasing
motivation.
This is where uncalled pressure exists to organization
task role quickly participate decision making may be dysfunctional
In this event manager of the leader employees the
unilateral of centralized decision making which is always advocated for
assuming that the leaders posses the perquisite knowledge and skills to do so.

It is dearly pointed out that the human leader should

efficient performance. People normally
follow those who they see will cater for their own person good those managers
who understand the motivational forces of the subordinates are very effective
in management.
LEADERSHIP STYLE

Harbision and Mayer (1969,pp.54-58) postulated from type
of leadership style which includes auto critic paternalistic participative and laissez- faire leadership.
The intension of the investigation is to compare the
leadership between leadership and its effect in the finance and service
oriented organizations to identify the effect on work performance.

styles to organizational behaviour of management and to decide the trend and
influence of leadership style on the management of an organization.

LIMITATION OF THE STUDY
In pursuing investigation and study lots of impediments
and obstruction were encountered as the research progressed. All these impediments brought about
conspicuous clause with the research work. They include lack of relevant data
due to poor despondence time constraint and financial condition lack of relevant data, the design of this
study was negatively attested by the
nature of despondence which was projected by the workers with in the case of
organizations. The non chalant attitude of the
most approached sample of the studying population was discouraging. Relevant information needed for research was
not made available information needed research was not made available
information were consulted before being allowed to be used.
TIME CONSTRAINT:
Time was also limited to the research in carrying out the
study effectively and efficiently. Time
constraint was experienced under dual stages.
One was that with sample under population study they either schedule
appointments which they cannot meet up with or complain of limited tomes within
their work thought they are willing to respond.
FINANCIAL CONDITIONS:
Financial conditions prevailing within the economic system
was serious impediment. This included transportation fare to and from school to
case organizations.
Also that of extracting the essential information either
through printing or through photocopy of relevant water side’s finance this
contributed immensely to unit the entire scope of the research.
Although all these obstructions were envisaged and
experienced efforts were made to carry on with the research to achieve the
expected and desired results.
