Abstract
This study compares Polish managers’ perceptions of their organizational culture andtheir beliefs concerning attributes necessary for leadership effectiveness, investigatedin 1996/1997 and 2010//2011. As was unexpected, our results show that Polishmanagers of 2010/2011 score significantly higher than managers of 1996/1997 onPower Distance, Autocratic Orientation and slightly lower on Performance Orientation,Team Orientation, Humane Orientation, Decisiveness, Integrity, CharismaticlVisionaryLeadership Dimension and Charismatic/Inspirational Leadership Dimension. Ourfindings suggest that more autocratic orientation in Polish organizations is stillnecessary in order to survive and be effective during the current turbulent and highlyuncertain economic and business conditions. Our findings are also consistent with regardto leadership attributes of Performance Orientation, Team Orientation, Decisiveness,Humane Orientation, Integrity, Visionary and Charismatic/Inspirational, whichare somewhat less strongly associated with leadership effectiveness by Polish middlemanagers investigated in 2010/2011 in comparison with their counterparts studied in1996/1997.
