The role of leadership in creating an organizational culture

Abstract

BiH, as a transition country, ie in development, is currently facing the challenges of transforming outdated forms of management styles in organizations into modern forms of leadership. Most organizations have already implemented certain elements of leadership in their processes. However, there are few organizations that have fully implemented the concept of modern leadership in their business. Communication between leaders and associates, empowerment and organizational commitment of employees are variables that are intensively researched and improved in developed countries. Many studies have provided evidence that communication between leaders and associates is related to commitment, however none of this research has provided data on the deeper nature and characteristics of this connection. Even in developed countries, there has not been enough research to fully substantiate the basic claim of connectivity in different work environments. The aim of this paper is to contribute to a better understanding of the mutual influence of communication between leaders and associates, empowerment and organizational commitment of employees in environments in transition, and the development of theory and practice of these variables within organizational behavior.
