The _____ of an organization can influence the acceptance of and adherence to organizational norms and values.

A) nation of origin
B) locus of control
C) leadership style
D) production methods
E) opportunity

Leadership style refers to how leaders interact with their subordinates and influence their behavior. The leader's behavior can shape the culture of the organization and affect the acceptance of norms and values. For example, a transformational leader who inspires and motivates employees to achieve common goals is more likely to instill a strong sense of purpose and commitment to the organization's values than a laissez-faire leader who delegates all decision-making and has little involvement in employee development.
