The role of leaders in creating an organizational culture that fosters the concept of preservation the natural resources

Abstract

Leadership becomes an important topic of research in the organizational theory as it is an essential factor for the success of organizations. Leadership can be understood as a process of influencing followers based on the clear values and beliefs. Organizational culture is largely evolving under the influence of leadership, and the culture of an organization in some segment can also affect the leadership. The efficient organizations in order to survive in increasingly competitive business conditions require a tactical and strategic thinking as well as the creation of a culture by the leader. Vision and mission of the organization can be realized only if the leader creates a culture dedicated to the support of this vision. Bearing in mind that the natural resources are a factor necessary for the functioning of societies in the modern world, the aim of the manuscript was to determine the role that a leader has in creating an organizational culture that fosters the concept of preserving the natural resources.
