The Role of Administrative Leadership in Achieving Organizational Commitment in Algerian Institutions - A Case Study of Some Economic Institutions

Abstract

This study aimed to examine the role of administrative leadership styles—namely, autocratic, democratic, and laissez-faire—in fostering organizational commitment from the perspective of employees within public institutions in the Wilaya of El Oued. The research focused on a sample comprising four public institutions (two administrative and two economic) with a total of 81 participants. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire consisting of 43 items divided into two sections representing the study variables. The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) was utilized to analyze the data, employing various statistical techniques suitable for the study variables. The findings revealed that participants had a clear understanding of the different administrative leadership styles and the concept of organizational commitment within their institutions. Furthermore, the study identified a statistically significant impact of leadership styles, specifically autocratic and democratic leadership, on organizational commitment in public institutions in the Wilaya of El Oued.
