The purpose of this study was to determine typical features of an efficient leader and also to evaluate whether the apprehension of inferiors of the efficient leader is differential. In that case, the purpose was to assess how it depends on inferiors’ gender, age, education, location, position in organization, organization itself and its activity division. 188 servants participated in this study from various organizations. The features of the efficient leader after the accomplishment of result analysis were divided into three factors using factorial analysis method. These are the factors: 1) task performance; 2) interpersonal relationship; 3) individual attributes. Results show that Lithuanian servants underline features required for task performance and interpersonal relationship mostly. The results of comparative analysis show women rating interpersonal relationship and individual attributes of the leader higher then men. Although results did not show significant differences, it is evident that servants of age 50 – 60 rate all the features signally less and, in comparison with other age groups, they emphasize the features of interpersonal relationship least. Furthermore, an extensive gap showed up between servants working in national and international corporations. In comparison with other study groups, servants working in international corporations have the highest requests for the efficient leader and they also underline specifically the importance of interpersonal relationship features. It was found that persons with higher education, working in a town area and in international corporations have higher demands for the efficient leader then servants of their comparable groups do, although the highest rated features are indicated the same. The results show that Lithuanian leaders are oriented to task performance features, meanwhile inferiors rate interpersonal relationships signally higher. |
