Explanation:

* The most popular classification of leadership styles is based on the use of authority. Depending on the use of authority, there are three basic styles of leadership: (i) Autocratic (ii) Democratic, and (iii) Laissez-faire.

* Communication that takes place without following the formal lines of communication is said to be informal communication. Informal system of communication is generally referred to as the ‘grapevine’ because it spreads throughout the organisation with its branches going out in all directions in utter disregard to the levels of authority.

* Job enrichment is concerned with designing jobs that include greater variety of work content, require higher level of knowledge and skill; give workers more autonomy and responsibility; and provide the opportunity for personal growth and a meaningful work experience. If jobs are enriched and made interesting, the job itself becomes a source of motivation to the individual.

* Organisational climate indicates the characteristics which describe an organisation and distinguish one organisation from the other. These characteristics influence the behaviour of individuals in the organisation. Some of these characteristics are–individual autonomy, reward orientation, consideration to employees,risk-tasking, etc., If managers take positive measures regarding these aspects, it helps to develop better organisational climate.
