Year: 2002

Type: article

Abstract: The aim of this research was to investigate the relationships between \nemployee perceptions of leadership dimensions, cultural beliefs and \nsalutogenic functioning within a multi-cultural workforce. Inter-correlations \nand factor analysis of the data (N=300) identified three separate \nconstructs, namely leadership (comprising perceptions of organisational \nclimate, supervisory support and team work), cultural beliefs and \nsalutogenic functioning (comprising of sense of coherence, self-efficacy, \nlocus of control and hardiness). Many significant correlations existed \nbetween the dimensions of the three constructs. Confirmatory factor \nanalysis showed that a model of good fit existed, confirming a structural \nrelationship between leadership dimensions, cultural beliefs and \nsalutogenic functioning. The nature of these relationships are discussed \nand recommendations are formulated towards improved individual, \nmanagement, leadership and organisational development.
