Abstract:

The current empirical data regarding leadership practices, organizational culture and organizational performance in the Romanian public sector is almost nonexistent. Most writings are focused either on only one of the concepts or are usually lacking empirical data to support the claims made. The research aims to at least start filling this void by measuring all three concepts together with the aim of answering the following question: are leadership and organizational culture predictors of organizational performance in the public sector. The study is conducted in two phases. A pilot phase in which the instruments for leadership and culture evaluation are tested along with performance measurement and a second phase where the study is conducted at national level on a large organizational population. Results show positive correlations between transformational leadership and perceived performance.
