摘要:This paper examines the management orientation of employees in the United
States by comparing the leadership perception of 484 respondents from the Alaska and
Florida regions. It appears that Americans have a significantly higher score on the
relationship-orientation than task-orientation. Similarly, the variables of gender, age and
work experience produced similar results, showing a significantly higher score for the
relationship orientation for these Alaskans and Floridians. The study also presents
practical recommendations, suggestions for future research and implications of the study.
