Abstract: This study determined the management system [Likert and Likert 1976] operating in 10 organizations in the Arabian Gulf region and correlated the system with the resultant effectiveness of these organizations. Managers in the region operated in a Management System 3 mode, but at a lower participatory level than desired by managers and at a lower level than their American counterparts. Effectiveness was found to be related to the operative management system; organization climate was the most potent determinant of effectiveness.© 1983 JIBS.
