ABSTRACT |
VANGUARD FOR CHANGE: Leadership and the Determinants of Organizational
Effectiveness for National Measurement Institutes
by
Dr.
Charles A. Motzko
School of Advanced Studies
University of Phoenix
This report
presents findings based on the research data from a doctorial dissertation,
makes recommendations for leadership, suggests areas for future research,
and proposes some conclusions based on the data.
The rationalization for this subject and methodology is contained in a
prophetic comment made by the British scientist Lord William Thomson Kelvin
(1824-1907) to the Institution of Civil Engineers, on May 3, 1883. Lord
Kelvin argued that knowledge and science are based on measurements, usually
expressed as numbers. Lord Kelvin’s argument centers on the ability to
succinctly express one’s thoughts, one must be able to quantify the
knowledge. Without numbers, knowledge is lacking substance.
The investigation used a combination of field interviews, a pilot survey to
develop a validated survey instrument, an Internet distributed Likert-scaled
survey, all coupled with research of public records to quantify the problem.
This methodology was to answer the central research question. The question
asked, “… if there is a significant performance difference based on the
NMI’s leadership style and that leadership’s selection of the determinants
of organizational effectiveness?” The findings from the data analysis
revealed statistically significant relationships between leadership and
certain determinants for measuring organizational effectiveness. The
relationships varied depending on the goal of effectiveness or efficiency.
A surprise finding involved relationship of effectiveness and efficiency as
mutually exclusive or dependent? Other statistically significant findings
revealed information on the selection process, including the unexpected
emergence of third and fourth measurement dimension involving relations with
the political sponsor and positions of responsibility. The finding on the
additional measurement dimensions suggests rich areas for future research.
