摘要

The present study focuses upon identifying the determinant of organizational effectiveness with focus on the emerging concept of entrepreneurial leadership. It was hypothesized that executives and non-executives would differ significantly with each other on the variables under study. There would be a significant positive contribution of attributes of entrepreneurial leadership on organizational effectiveness irrespective of organizations’ typology. The sample of 410 respondents from both public and private organizations working in the manufacturing sector in India participated in the study. The findings of the study reveal that executives and non-executives of both organizations differ significantly on directed discovery, creative integration of networks and arena building. The quantum of difference in employees of private organizations was low. The findings are important to design interventions on entrepreneurial leadership attributes for enhancing organizational effectiveness.
