Abstract
This study examined the influence of managerial style influence on ICT adoption in Television stations in Ghana. Hierarchical and Standard Multiple Regression Analysis was used to test the effect of managerial style on ICT adoption in television stations in Ghana. Results shows that participative (?= .304, p<.05) and exploitative-authoritative leadership style (?=.209, p<.05) has positive and significant effect on ICT adoption in Television stations in Ghana. The result further revealed that benevolent-authoritative (?= -.486, p>.05) and consultative leadership (?= .170, p>.05) doesn?t have significant effect on ICT adoption. Age was found to have more variance on attitude towards ICT adoption than gender. The study recommends that managers should master all managerial styles because the situational context of issues determines the managerial style to exhibit. Managers were advised to be more participative and authoritative but in a moderate sense.
