| Abstract | The objectives of this paper are (1) to briefly describe the concept of self-esteem, Theory X and Theory Y assumptions, and four leadership styles based on attitudes toward self (self-esteem) and other people at work (Theory X vs. Theory Y belief system); (2) to describe the exploratory research conducted, which was aimed toward identification of the prevailing level of self-esteem, the prevailing belief system or attitude toward others at work, and the prevailing leadership style based on attitudes toward self and other people at work of business students in Kazakhstan; and (3) to describe the outcomes of the conducted exploratory research. One hundred and six students of a business college took part in the survey: forty two students majoring in management and sixty four students majoring in accounting. They were asked to fill-in a questionnaire on self-esteem and a questionnaire on Theory X and Theory Y assumptions. The findings indicate that all students irrespective of their major on average have relatively high self-esteem and moderate Theory X beliefs. The research also revealed that about fifty percent of all business students who took part in the survey will probably be bossy, pushy, impatient, inclined to criticism and autocratic style of leadership, whereas about forty percent will probably be willing to give and accept positive feedback and expect others to succeed. The academic and practical contribution of this paper is that it sheds the light on the under-researched topic of the level of self-esteem and preferable leadership style of young people who study business administration today, but tomorrow will take administrative positions in business companies of Kazakhstan a young and perspective state in Central Asia. |
