A critical analysis of motivation and leadership styles of Indian railway officers
- Abstract
The Indian Railways is not just a transport system; it is a culture in force, and an integral expression of national solidarity. In fact, the wheels of the railways symbolize an ever advancing, growing, developing nation. A service organisation which is basically a public enterprise does not have the freedom to follow any of these styles except bureaucratic style of leadership. Of course, the individual official can follow different leadership style at their level. Individual wants are the deficiencies that affect behaviour to satisfy those wants. Discipline maintenance becomes essential for specially the operating staff in railways as their work is actually related to providing services on a large scale to public. Smooth running of railways is possible only when the staff and public in general will follow the safety rules and regulatory provisions ordered by the Railway Board.
