The participative, altruistic, professional and organic management styles are the most desirable amongst the various management styles. The present study aims to assess the extent to which such management styles are practiced in Indian organizations across public sector and private sector enterprises and across manufacturing and service providing organizations and to measure their impacts on HR Productivity and HR Adaptability. It has been found that in Indian organizations across the sectors, such management styles are practiced to a moderate extent and have high positive correlation with one another. HR Productivity and HR Adaptability are also found at moderate levels. The selected four management styles may be considered as the safest and development oriented to practice in a wide variety of organizations.

Abstract


The participative, altruistic, professional and organic management styles are the most desirable amongst the various management styles. The present study aims to assess the extent to which such management styles are practiced in Indian organizations across public sector and private sector enterprises and across manufacturing and service providing organizations and to measure their impacts on HR Productivity and HR Adaptability. It has been found that in Indian organizations across the sectors, such management styles are practiced to a moderate extent and have high positive correlation with one another. HR Productivity and HR Adaptability are also found at moderate levels. The selected four management styles may be considered as the safest and development oriented to practice in a wide variety of organizations.
