TL;DR: For example, the authors found that when leadership has changed in the past, where it was dependent on higher authority, and where it is in close contact with superiors, organizational structures are unstable over time, but orderly causal relationships among environmental variables, size, and measures of organizational structure appear.
Abstract: Leadership conditions affect both the stability of and causal relationships among variables describing organizational structure. Where leadership has changed in the past, where it is dependent on higher authority, and where it is in close contact with superiors, organizational structures are unstable over time, but orderly causal relationships among environmental variables, size, and measures of organizational structure appear. Where leadership has been stable, and where it is autonomous and insulated from higher authority, organizational structures are more predictable, but causal relationships vanish.

TL;DR: In this paper, a model describing causal relations among four socialpsychological factors (organizational climate, managerial leadership, peer leadership, group process) in organizational functioning is empirically examined.
Abstract: Jerome L. Franklin A model describing causal relations among four socialpsychological factors-organizational climate, managerial leadership, peer leadership, group process-in organizational functioning is empirically examined. Data from two waves and from pairs of superior-subordinate groups are included to evaluate both the importance of lag time and the influence of conditions and practices in groups at related levels of hierarchy. With one notable exception indicating a lack of direct influence from supervisory behavior to the group process factor, the relations suggested by the theory received supportfrom the data. Specifically, the major links are from organizational climate to managerial leadership, from managerial leadership to peer leadership, and from peer leadership to group process.

TL;DR: The organizational imperative has been analyzed in this paper for its impact on social values, for the organizational imperative transformed them into supportive administrative norms, and the new values pose serious questions about their compatibility with traditional assumptions about the innate moral nature of man.
Abstract: The American value system has undergone a recent and pervasive transformation. The immediate cause has been “the organizational imperative”: the primary values absolutely necessary for modern organization. This essay analyzes the organizational imperative: its a priori propositions, its rules for behavior, and its administrative norms. Particular attention is given to its impact on social values, for the organizational imperative has transformed them into supportive administrative norms. This is of concern because it has made us a significantly different people than we presumed we would be. The new values pose serious questions about their compatibility with traditional assumptions about the innate moral nature of man.
