Abstract
This investigation associated several approaches to management with varying dimensions of communication style. Subjects used in the study were employees of a midwestern hospital (N = 151). Results indicated that democratic management was characterized by relaxation, animation, attentiveness, and friendliness in communication style, laissez‐faire leadership was similar, except for a lack of animation, and autocratic managers were characterized primarily by dominant communication behavior.Keywords
