Abstract

The paper investigates the influence of organizational culture on the leadership style in the company. Every company needs managers who will develop a certain leadership style in order to meet the preconditions for effective actions that will lead to the achievement of the company's goals. Organizational culture in accordance with established norms and rules determines how to understand and accept specific employee behavior, and which leadership style is fitting for managing employees by managers of company leaders. The paper uses a situational approach to leadership according to which the typology of leadership styles is based on two key criteria: concern for people and concern for performance. The classification of organizational culture according to the Edwards and Kleiner typology is based on four types of organizational culture: indifferent culture, caring culture, strict culture and integrative culture. Based on the agreement of the criteria for differentiating the types of organizational cultures and leadership styles, hypotheses about cause-and-effect relations between them are set in the paper.
