This research studied the influence of organizational culture on leadership styles among administrative staffs in Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UNIMAP). This study measured three dimensions of organizational culture's characteristics (innovation and risk taking, team orientation and aggressiveness) as independent variables and three dimensions of leadership styles(transformational, transactional and situational) as dependent variables. By using stratified random sampling, a total of 129 sets of
