Organizational
Culture and
Leadership Style in a
Selected Learning
Organization
 Brown & Militello (2016), Walker & Hallinger
Introduction (2015), and Walker & Qian (2016) concluded
that the values of honesty, integrity, truth, and
emotional and personal depth in all
organizational personnel are the most
important factors in the success of leadership
practice in an organization. (Arifin et al., 2018).
 Moreover, according to Sariakin and Anwar
(2010), leadership begins with the intellect,
Introduction emotions, thoughts, and spirits of the
individuals who lead and is then channeled
through meaningful interactions to other
organizational resources. Thus, leadership is
only effective when a leader's ethics and
leadership values serve as their guiding
principles (Fairholm & Gronau, 2015; Kalman &
Arslan, 2016; Murphy, 2015) as cited in Arifin et
al. (2018).
Introduction The success of effective leadership is
determined by the school team's embrace of
leadership values; the team believes in the
truth and strives to build a high-quality school
(Eliyana & Ratmawati, 2013; Lumby, 2012) as
cited in Arifin et al. (2018).

 The second objective of this analysis is to examine

top executives and its impact on the organizational
culture. It attempts to determine whether the
leadership style is transformational, transactional,

effect of leadership style on employee behavior,
motivation, and engagement within the context of
the organization. In conclusion, this analysis aims to
provide valuable insights into the relationship

thereby contributing to the development of effective
leadership strategies that align with and enhance the
desired organizational culture.

 The researchers indicate that, to the best
of their knowledge, no prior research has
examined the topic of analysis of
organizational culture and leadership style
Innovation specifically within the local academic
setting. This implies that there is a gap in
the existing literature when it comes to
understanding the dynamics and
relationship between organizational
culture and leadership style in the context
of academia at the local level.
 The absence of previous research
highlights the need for further
investigation into this subject to gain
insights into how organizational culture

the academic environment in the local
Innovation setting. By exploring this topic,
researchers can provide valuable insights
and recommendations for improving
organizational culture and leadership
practices in local academic institutions,
ultimately enhancing their effectiveness
and promoting a conducive learning and
working environment for all stakeholders
involved.
 An analysis of organizational culture and
leadership style in both academic and
business contexts has significant effects and
ramifications on multiple levels.
Understanding organizational culture and
leadership style can have a significant
impact on student outcomes in the school
Impact setting. Together with effective leadership
practices, a positive and inclusive culture
fosters a supportive and engaging learning
environment. It promotes teacher
collaboration, improves communication
channels, and fosters professional
development. This can ultimately result in
enhanced student achievement, increased
graduation rates, and a positive school
reputation.
 Moreover, the implications of analyzing
organizational culture and leadership style
for organizational change and adaptation
are significant. Understanding the extant
culture and leadership practices enables
Impact leaders to identify improvement
opportunities and address any
misalignments that may impede progress. It
lays the groundwork for implementing
strategic initiatives, reorganizing processes,
and facilitating change management. In
turn, this improves organizational agility,
resilience, and the capacity to navigate
challenges in a dynamic environment.

organization.
 Furthermore, analyzing organizational
culture and leadership style can impact the
perceptions and reputation of stakeholders.
Stakeholders, such as parents, customers,
clients, and shareholders, are increasingly
