Abstract
The aim of the paper was to conduct a preliminary verification of theoretical postulates on correlation between the administrative leadership style and learning processes in local administrative organizations. The basic research hypothesis is that administrative leadership style is positively correlated with inclination to organizational learning in local administrative organizations, notwithstanding other organizational and contextual variables, such as internal organizational structure, number of employees, ruling political party and its continuity. In order to construct an empirical study, a cross-sectional study among three Croatian city governments has been applied. The main variables have been measured on the basis of civil servants’ perception of administrative
leadership style and inclination to organizational learning in each organization. The results of correlation analysis between administrative leadership style, on one hand, and, each level of learning in organization and each process of learning across the levels, on the other, are presented in the paper. On the basis of the results obtained and consequent discussion, some general conclusions and recommendations for administrative organizations are provided.
