Dear Sir

It is to bring into your knowledge that, the culture of the organization is participative in nature. Organizational culture often has a significant impact on the motivation of the individual. If he is comfortable in the organization, impact of such a worker will be higher. The formation of organizational culture influence: the culture of the society within which the organization operates culture of senior management organization management, assertive leadership in the implementation of new norms of behaviour, ideas, views and ideologies.

According to social psychologist Kurt Lewin, the behaviour of employees is a function of the interaction between personal characteristics and environment surrounding the person. Since the job security is not assured the decion making may not be as effective as it should be. Employee will try to delay the project completion in order to avoid their job lay off. Hence the cost of production can be adversely effected. The decision making should involve the manager as well.

Yours Sincerely

2.1 Democratic approach Vs. Authoritative Approach

In other words, the manager says, "where to go." Private employee has the freedom and authority to determine "how to walk." The "peaceful" times the democratic style is considered optimal for most companies (Yafang, 2011, pp. 98-106).

The authoritarian leader is most typical in today's corporate world. Perhaps someone thinks that "tough leadership" - a relic of the past century? Then we can provide the fire department, which puts out a fire without a commander. Benefits of becoming an authoritarian style can be seen in those moments when you need to simplify the process of managing the organization. Crisis, the implementation of a major project, starting a business - in these cases, the head takes full responsibility (Scarpello, 2008, pp.256-289).

2.2 Maslow's Theory

Maslow, analyzing needs, determined the sequence of their appearance (the hierarchy). The first place belongs to the physiological needs, indispensable to the survival of the individual. These include the need for food, water, rest, and sexual needs. In second place is the need ...
