Each style has its own characteristics
Autocratic:leaders make all decisions unilaterally.
Permissive:
leader permits subordinate to take part in decision making and also
gives them a considerable degree of autonomy in completing routine work
activities combining those categories with democratic (subordinates are
allowed to participate in decision making) and directive (subordinates
are told exactly how to do their jobs) styles gives us four distinctive
ways to manage (IEBM, 1998:201).
Directive democrat: makes decisions participatively i.e. closely supervises subordinates.
Directive autocratic: makes decisions unilaterally; closely supervises subordinates.
Permissive democrat: makes decisions participatively gives subordinates latitude in carrying out their work.
Permissive autocrat: makes decisions unilaterally gives subordinates latitude in carrying out their work.
Managers
must also adjust their styles according to the situation that they are
presented with. Below are four quadrats of situational leadership that
depend on the amount of support and guidance needed.
Telling: work best when employees are neither willing nor able to do the job (high need of support and high need of guidance).
Delegating:
works best when the employers are willing to do the job and know how to
get about it (low need of guidance and low need of support).
Participating:
works best when employers have the ability to do the job, but need high
amount of support (low need of guidance but high need of support).
Selling:
works best when employees are willing to do the job, but don’t know how
to do it (low need of support but high need of guidance).
The
different styles depend on the situation and the relationship behaviour
(amount of support required and task behaviour (amount of guidance
required).
1.2 STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
The effect of management
style on the efficiency of government owned companies cannot be
discussed without looking into the problems militating against these
management styles. These upsetting difficulties and problems are:
a) Poor attitude to work/poor performance
b) No proper accountability
c) Inefficiency
d) Wrong management style
e) Poor quality service (Norber M. Ile)
These problems have attracted incessant criticisms from people. Some managers lack good management capabilities.
It
is all these that made the researcher to endeavour to determine the
impact of the management style on the efficiency of government owned
companies.
