Occupations, Cultures, and Leadership in the Army and Air Force

Abstract

Focusing much on Air Force society, Mastroianni analyzes service cultures with the intent to achieve greater understanding of how culture influences leadership styles and how it is affected by institutional and occupational tendencies. He concludes with the assertion that although the Army and Navy have made strides in redefining their institutional cultures, that has not happened within the Air Force, and consequently the Air Force is certain to face greater institutional challenges in these times of turbulence and uncertainty.
