LEADERSHIP AND ORGANIZATION CULTURE: IMPACTING THE IMPLEMENTATION OF REMOTE WORKING AND TEACHING FOR HIGHER EDUCATION

Abstract

This thesis will examine the influence of leadership models and communication on organizational behavior and culture in the context of remote working and teaching in higher education. Understanding the impact of leadership and communication on organizational behavior and culture is crucial for successful outcomes in any organization. Effective communication and leadership can either positively or negatively affect an organization. The discussion will begin by defining leadership style and its importance to effective leadership. The study will also cover how leaders can communicate efficiently with employees and staff. It will then examine the four phenomena of organizational behavior, namely employee satisfaction, commitment, engagement, and motivation, and how leadership styles and communication affect them, impacting organizational culture. The thesis will conclude by exploring the relevance of these factors in implementing remote working and teaching in higher education and how it will affect both employees and students.
