ABSTRACT

The present research aims to examine leadership effectiveness among Indian Army personnel posted in Gujarat, using a multidimensional framework. A descriptive research design was employed. A purposive sampling method was used here for sampling. The sample consisted of 240 personnel from the Indian Army posted in Gujarat. Leadership Effectiveness was assessed using the Leadership Effectiveness Scale (LES–DP) developed by Upinder Dhar and Sanjyot Pethe (2001), which measures eleven dimensions of leadership effectiveness. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, including mean and standard deviation. The result revealed a high overall leadership effectiveness score along multiple dimensions, indicating that the personnel possessed strong leadership ability.
