Abstract

The study of leadership has been an important and central part of various organizations. The purpose of this study is to provide an overview of the literature on organizational leadership, with an emphasis on recent trends and developments likely to dominate the field through the turn of the century. Leadership has been studied in different ways, depending on the researcher's conception of leadership and methodological preferences. Most of the studies divide naturally into distinct lines of research and can be classified according to whether the primacy focus is on leader traits, behavior, influence, or situational factors. Charismatic and transformational, and self leadership, a subject that became popular in recent years, can be viewed as a hybrid approach that involves elements from each of the other approaches. Finally, it discussed implication of the present study and the research required in the future.
