Abstract :

<p>Organizational culture affects the way individuals make decisions, feel and act in response to the opportunities and threats affecting the organization. Leadership behavior and organizational culture are inter-related. The norms, guidelines and operations of modern organizations are also primarily dependent upon the culture of the organization cherished by the founders and builders over a period of time. The cultural values from the environment have a very strong impact on the behavior of the persons within the organization. The core of culture is formed by values which are not visible but shared by people even when membership in group changes. Modern teacher training institutions are required to establish and maintain healthy and constructive culture of learning. A new discipline called leadership behavior has emerged on the basis of serious scientific evaluations. Scholars have advocated that modern educational institutions should create a sound culture of teaching and learning in which effective education can take place. The management is responsible for developing sound leadership behaviors of the principals of colleges of teacher education on the basis of educational and institutional cultural ethos.</p>
