An Analysis of Heterogeneity Effect of Leadership on the Quality of Work Life of Agricultural Extension Staff, Using FIMIX Algorithm

Current empirical research was conducted with the aim of examining the role of leader-member exchange quality on the quality of work life of employees. The statistical population was consisted of employees of the Agricultural extension in Tehran province, among which 51 were selected as the sample. Respondents were selected by simple random sampling method. The research tool was a questionnaire whose validity was verified by face validity, structural validity and discriminant validity, and reliability coefficients including Cronbach's alpha and ordinal tetha showed satisfied reliability. The dominant statistical method was partial least squares modeling which, by calculating its coefficients and using the finite Mixture algorithm, the intangible heterogeneity classes in the research data of the research are explored and by matching the results of the classifier composition of FIMIX on the LMX scale, it became clear that the leader-member action space architecture followed the organizational dual architecture. The results of the research show that in the organization of agricultural extension in the area of leadership task, the employees, who are in the out-of-band environment, experience adverse work life quality and are likely to be exposed to burnout conditions. Therefore, it seems that studying the architecture of organizational leadership space is an important step in improving human resource management. Given that leadership is very important for stimulating social change, improving its organizational leadership can have a significant impact on the social system's preparedness for change. By combining the results of this research with the theory of contingency leadership and transformational leadership, a comprehensive leadership model can be found from the point of view of determining the favorable climate of the leader-member's action and reducing organizational conflicts.
