In the past, the leadership style of Malaysian managers has been different from our Western counterparts due to strong cultural differences. However, with the advent of knowledge economy and the transformation of workforce, leadership style of Malaysian managers is said to be altered. This research explored the current state of leadership style among Malaysian managers and its effect on the perception of effectiveness. A survey method was employed and the data was drawn from subordinates who were working in private and public sectors in the Klang Valley area. When compared to past literature, the results imply that a shift has taken place primarily with regards to autocratic leadership. Respondents attributed leadership effectiveness to the use of participative and nurturant-task leader behavior. Gender differences were not significantly evident.

a b s t r a c tThe goal of this study was to find an abstract model that would address the relationship between information and task and thus lead to better business performance. The relationships among information, task, and performance are analyzed in the natural environment against job-related beliefs and technology. The final instrument was applied to professionals mainly from the Finance and Information and Communication Technology (ICT) sectors. Statistical analyses were used to quantify the relationships. The goal of the study was also to develop a model of task information fit (TIF). Results indicate that the tool has been successful and models the underlying structure between system characteristics, task characteristics, information characteristics, and their impact on perceived business success to some degree. A reduced TIF model was targeted to discover the relation between task characteristics, information characteristics, and their effect on business performance on a per-item basis. The correlations between the items supported the proposed relations.
