Abstract

The main purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship of management styles (relationship-oriented and task-oriented) to organizational health and job stress in education organization personnel in the fourth district of Shiraz. This correlational study included 144 participants selected through stratified sampling. Data were collected employing three questionnaires of management styles, organizational health, and job stress. Their Cronbach’s alpha reliability indexes were 0.83, 0.73, and 0.68 respectively. To analyze data, descriptive statistics and correlational coefficient, and multi-stage regression were used. Data analysis revealed that there was a significant and positive relationship between relationship oriented management style and organizational health but there was a significantly negative relationship between task oriented management and organizational health. In addition, there was a significantly negative relationship between relation oriented management style and job stress but there was a significantly positive relationship between task oriented management style and job stress. A significantly negative relationship was further found between organizational health and job stress. Additionally, regression analysis indicated that management styles could significantly account for organizational health and job stress.
