While on the contrary, pressure tactics are negatively related with affective commitment and positively with continuance commitment.The business challenges of the new decade requires a transformation at the value system for managerial and organizational effectiveness (Sargent and Stupak, 1989). The new model proposes an androgynous style- integration of stereotypically ?masculine? and ?feminine? behaviours for effective leadership. The results indicated that androgynous leadership style strengthens the relationship between managerial influence tactics and affective commitment.The presence of the differences between female and male in their values, beliefs, and other factors can affect how individuals utilize the influence tactics in their business interactions with subordinates or peers, and upward relationships with their supervisors. The results revealed that female leaders use rational persuasion more than their male colleagues.This study intends to provide contribution to business literature by pointing out the managerial implications of influence tactics for managers in today?s diverse business environment. In addition, it highlights the significance of a requirement for a transformation at the value system for managerial and organizational effectiveness from a leadership standpoint.?
