| Summary: | Space is an element in almost every organization that has not been observed nor
studied in depth. Therefore, recent studies are taking many perspectives on space
and examining its importance within the organization. In addition, the relation
among space and leadership has been investigated. The intention is to show that
the phenomenon of space has its importance in creating social relations in an
organization, i.e. creates structure.
Mixed methods of qualitative and quantitative approaches have been used
to explore space in correlation to leadership in an organization as main focuses in
the study.
It was evident from the results that the kindergarten utilized the space in its
greatest ability and the leadership has grown in a suitable style for the
environment. An axial map and a visibility graph, respectively, showed the least
and the most segregated spaces, and in comparison to structure, culture, and
leadership, they showed the importance of utilizing space in accordance to the
previously mentioned elements. Considering space as a social utility, a need to
contribute to this notion was needed, and an investigation was undertaken. (It is a
new leap in connecting the two phenomena of space and leadership through the
prism of social relations.) However, there was no strong connection among space
and relational leadership.
The denouement of this study presents the importance of space as a decisive
factor for structure and leadership in an organization.
