A STUDY OF THE INTERRELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN LEADERSHIP CLIMATE, MORALE AND PERFORMANCE IN SMALL COAST GUARD GROUPS.
Abstract
Recent changes in social environment have caused men to seek higher level personal goals of status, self-satisfaction and morale independence. Leadership techniques, directing groups towards the accomplishment of the Navy's mission, must be revised accordingly. This study attempts to show, through a comparison of the effectiveness of democratic, autocratic and laissez-faire leadership climates in various working groups, the effects of human relations, group dynamics and group decision making upon naval leadership. Findings show that dynamic leadership which creates a democratic working environment, through the application of group decision techniques, provides the most effective motivation towards accomplishing the Navy's mission while satisfying individual needs.
