Leadership has been a long debate and discussion. Until now, research on leadership still does not give conclusive results. Some researchers found that the leadership has an important and direct influence on the performance of an organization (Katz and Kahn, 1978; Peters and Waterman, 1982; Elenkov and Manev, 2005), whereas other authors doubt that the leadership has a substantial and direct effect on the performance of the organization but depends on factors that are beyond the power of leaders such as economic conditions, market conditions, government policies, and technological change. (Meindl, Erlich, Duderich, 1985; Pfeffer, 1977b).
A number of large companies outside Indonesia, such as: Google Inc., Microsoft, Enron, Circle K’s, Xerox, Bank of America, MicroStrategy, and IBM, indicate a role of leadership style on the performance of the organization either directly or indirectly. Several large companies in Indonesia, such as: Indofood Sukses Makmur, Unilever Indonesia, Astra Group, Indomobil, Sinar Mas also demonstrate the role of corporate leaders in achieving organizational performance through culture, strategy, organizational management and accounting system which can be viewed on the company’s annual report them.
Research conducted by Schein (2004) regarding the psychology of organizational leadership found a strong connection between the actions of executive leadership and organizational culture. Leadership plays an important role in the planning and development of corporate strategy (Yukl, 2006; Pratt, 2004). Different leadership styles were also influenced how managers use and develop data systems and accounting firms (Hopwood, 1974; Jansen, 2008). The relationship of leadership style and management accounting systems can be seen in several companies in Indonesia.
