management is the right population for this survey.
Telecom sector reflects the leading industry of
Pakistan. It is because the team leadership activities
are mostly being performed in this sector. 300
questionnaires are distributed for the current
research among the middle managers, but 268
managers respond properly.

3.4. Research Instrument
The Instrument that used is “Structured Close-Ended
Questionnaire” using 5 points likert scales ranging from
Strongly Disagree to Strongly Agree.
12/29/201518
19. 3.5. Sampling Design
“Two Stage Non -Probability Sampling” is used for data
collection. First Stage – Non-Proportioning Stratified
Sampling and in the Second Stage - Convenience Sampling
Non-Proportioning Stratified Sampling
In the first stage, stratified sampling is used.
Generally fixed quota from each sub organization is selected.
20% data is gathered from small organizations, 30% of the
data is gathered from medium organizations and rest 50% data
is collected from large organizations.
Convenience Sampling
In the second stage convenience sampling is used,
data is gathered from the conveniently available middle level
employees of the telecom sector.

20. 3.6. Statistical Tools
After conducting the field survey, the responses are
analyzed through Normality Tests and
Correlation Analysis. First normality test is used which tells
us about the normality of the data, also skewness and
kurtosis. Than correlation analysis is used which
determines the reliability of the results.
Correlations
Correlation is used for the relationship between two or more
variables. Correlation coefficient (beta) range is starting from
-1 to +1. The -1 and +1 coefficients tell us about the
perfect 86 negative or perfect positive relationship between the
variables. Zero value shows the absence of correlation.
Pearson r is a commonly used measurement of beta.

47. 5.4 Course of future Research
Future examination ought to look for extra team initiative variables
beginning better example to raise the measurable dissection power.
Least information show deficient or dull side of picture yet most
extreme show respectable quality of examination.
This research exertion serves to create the graphical model for
delineating the relationship around Team authority, Choice making,
Critical thinking, team structures and hierarchical execution. It
likewise distinguishes control of authoritative Size boundaries to the
relationship of Hierarchical execution, business execution,
Authoritative adequacy, least crowd recommend, push the example
size of noteworthy studies. Suggestions for the future examination
work is for the intriguing analyst and designer is to form the new
model for the Team administration relationship not just Telecom,
Keeping money parts, include more organizations too.
12/29/201547
48. 5.5 Conclusion
Conclusion recognized those variables which affect
Team Leadership and likewise acknowledged more three
variables. Telecom chiefs' reaction indicated team
leadership style is the most influential variable to Team
Leadership Exercises although choice making can
likewise assume an essential part to team initiative
Exercises. To spot into a nutshell it is closed in the
brightening of theories that team administration is
emphatically connected with authoritative execution
directed by organizational size. There exists critical
moderate positive affiliation between Team Authority and
hierarchical execution Exercises while an alternate
speculation tells that administration styles has positive
effect on authoritative Execution. Results r = .906 tells
that its effect is sure or positive or perfect in general
telecom.
