Abstract
In this study a survey was implemented within corporate structures, and the distribution of leadership functions in two kinds of the leader within workplace groups was examined. This study considered simultaneously the leadership of the two leaders, and the morale, sense of belonging and stress in the employees under them. We addressed awareness of the complexities involved in everyday work, group size, and departments of branch offices as situational complexities. Of the two leaders in each group, one was an office organizational manager (a senior staff or group leader), and one was a union executive placed in each of the work units. Of the 8,758 valid respondents, those in managerial positions, union members and transferees were eliminated and 5,670 responses (4,793 men, 805 women, 72 unknowns) in 788 units were subjected to analysis. As a result of studying forms of leadership allocation, it was ascertained that more cases exist in which both the managing supervisor and union member are incorporated, as opposed to cases in which only the managing supervisor was incorporated. In addition, the results suggested that in those units in which both were incorporated better results were obtained as compared with those in which the managing supervisor was incorporated exclusively. Furthermore, the results indicated that in situations of high complexity, it is effective to have several leaders.
