Framework for Research on Leadership, Cohesion, and Values

Abstract

The purpose of the following report is to develop a systematic framework for research on cohesion in conjunction with leadership and values. The report is divided into an introduction and four sections. The first section, entitled Cohesion, Leadership, and Values: The Problem in Comparative Organizations, stresses the importance of understanding the problem in different kinds of organizations. Section Two, entitled Synergy in a Unique Organization Under Stress: The Army Unit in Combat, introduces and defines our guiding theoretical concept--organizational synergy, which serves as a nesting ground for leadership, values, and cohesion. Section Three, Determinants of Organizational Synergy, is the specification of variables that can be utilized to predict our major concept. Section Four, Framework for Future Research, presents a plan for research. This final section specifies relevant literature, identifies concepts to be measured mathematically, and shows how they can be combined into one statistical model that can be estimated.
