| 總結: | Leadership is deeply attached to culture. This study compares leadership styles in Thai
and Australian public sectors. The data were collected from staff in public sector settings
in Australia and Thailand. The results confirm four leadership styles that suit the public
sector culture in both countries: communication-oriented, strategic thinking and
planning, relationship building, and conflict management. In the Thai public sector
system, leadership that focuses on goal orientation is ranked most highly: Australian
public sector organisations focus on leadership that fosters equity among organisational
members, creates a supportive environment in the workplace, and facilitates
participation. It is evident from this study that significant distinctions between the
organisational cultures of Thailand and Australia are matched by marked dissimilarities
of preferred leadership styles. Thus, an understanding of local organisational culture is
important for effective leadership at all levels |
