Proquest
December 15, 2017
This study examined perceptions of differing leadership styles in the Greek Orthodox Metropolis of New Jersey to determine if a preferred pastoral leadership style exists. One hundred and thirteen randomly selected participants were administered the Vannsimpco Leadership Survey (VLS), which assesses nine leadership styles and hybrid combinations of leadership styles. Data analysis revealed there were statistical differences among the leadership style groups (F [8, 1008]= 62.96, p<. 01). Transformational (M= 4.47), Democratic-Transformational (M= 4.24), and Democratic (M= 4.09) leadership style groups had the highest means in the results of the independent samples t-tests. There were no significant differences noted between the clergy, ministry leaders, and other laypersons’, non-clergy members of the Church, perceptions of leadership style groups.

In the traditional model, to meet the needs of the organization the IT department designs software, hosts applications, codifies software and manages the operational functions to distribute the internal software packages to customers.

However, while many IT departments manage this function internally, customers have recognized that IT often takes too long to deploy software packages.
