FACTORS AFFECTING DEVELOPMENT OF SECONDARY LEADERSHIP IN NGOS IN SRI LANKA

Abstract

Through this study, the factors affecting the development of the secondary leadership of non governmental organizations in Sri Lanka are studied. Investigates factors influencing secondary leadership using a mixed-methods approach with employee surveys in 292 active and inactive NGOs. In particular, it examines the impact of centralization of power, succession planning, and leadership training and development opportunities on secondary leadership development. Through this study, it was observed that the three factors of centralization of power, succession planning and leadership training showed a significant positive relationship with secondary leadership development. As all three factors positively affect secondary leadership development, appropriate employees who display leadership characteristics provide recommendations for practical tasks needed to strengthen secondary leadership through independent decision-making, decentralization of power, and training programs.
