Research summary
A research on the leadership in a company/team and its development - from the viewpoint from the establishment of good relation between superiors and subordinates - What should companies, various organizations and teams do to adapt themselves with the strikingly changing environment? What should leaders (superiors) and members (subordinates) should do so that individual persons can make a vivid life and produce results supported by the smooth communication and the good human relationship? To lead these questions to solutions, it is necessary to perform an analysis from the following viewpoints: [Organization Structure Level] Viewpoints of organizational system, its actual operation and organization culture [Group and Interpersonal Level] Viewpoint of leadership [Individual Level] Viewpoint of the development of individual ability and skill And, why do these phenomena occur? I am attempting to use an organizational psychological and social psychological approach considering the human psychological effects at the root of the question.
