Cultural-oriented Leadership Style

Leadership is the ability of an individual or a group of people to influence and guide followers or members of an organization, society, or team. Culture provides context for the styles and behaviors of leaders, enabling the identification of whether a particular action will be considered appropriate or inappropriate within a society. Culture-oriented leadership is a type of leadership in which leaders engage in organizational management based on cultural elements and within the cultural context. According to Vazifeh Damirchi (۲۰۱۴), the cultural-oriented leadership style encompasses ten dimensions: "texture management," "knowledge management," "rationalism," "organizational affiliation," "organizational insight," "transformationalism," "employee orientation," "commitment," "employee emotional support," and "cultural intelligence." This review article aims to elucidate and interpret each dimension and component of the culture-oriented leadership style. Additionally, it concludes by categorizing this style alongside other research and findings from various researchers.
