The Difference Between Organizational and National Approaches to Leadership

Turning to the worker satisfaction and possibilities for both theories, organizational theory must distinguish this aspect of management results. More specifically, for an international commercial bank in Africa, it will be more effective for management to use an organizational approach to avoid mismatches with warring nations among the workforce’s representatives (Wisestri, 2020). When analyzing psychological and social aspects in terms of organizational leadership, it is important to distinguish them due to the different influence they make on the organization members (Arnold, 2017). Psychological perspective represents the intrinsic value of personal characteristics that were formed owing to the influence of the specific people (Seven steps for effective leadership development, 2012). However, social perspective describes the common values and notions that were formed in the whole organization or group of people so that when an individual’s role is pivotal in the psychological aspect, it is almost diluted in terms of social perspectives.

The main advantage of centric approach is that it is adjusted to the situation within the entity, and national or organizational parts may influence more and less depending on the situation. For instance, the board of directors of an international bank based in Africa decides to implement the the centrical approach to the leadership within the organization (Ovadje, 2014). Consequently, many people who were influenced by the prevailing in the bank organizational method of management have increased their efficiency (Kör, 2016). This is due to the national characteristics implementation in their common style of leadership (Kozlowski, Mak, and Chao, 2016). Even though the centric method might divide the organization into big common-nation clusters, the possibilities of efficiency rising overtop the risks (Scherrer, 2017). As a result, the commercial bank will gain more by implementing centric strategy into its leadership activity.
