The Impact of Leadership Styles on Employee Performance

P. Parks Duncan
University of Central Florida

The need to develop better leadership styles is becoming increasingly important in all organizations. The purpose of
this paper is to ascertain if there is a correlation between the supervisors leadership style and the employees
performance, particularly in the law enforcement field.

This paper reviews three recent and widely utilized

leadership styles: contingency theory, transactional theory, and transformational theory. There is a lack of total
agreement in the reviewed literature as to the best leadership style to be used in law enforcement, but transactional
theory appears to be more effective than contingency theory. Transformational theory is considered by many to be
an improvement to the transactional theory of leadership. There appears to be an ever increasing number of studies
supporting the benefits of the transformational theory. In todays ever changing climate, there are some researchers
whose findings suggest the optimal leadership style may be a blend of transactional and transformational theories.

Rochelle Joy Belonio
(Belonio) in this paper aims to determine the effect of leadership styles on employee job satisfaction and
the effect of employee job satisfaction on employee job performance. A survey was conducted by
administering questionnaires to 400 respondents in the banking sector in Bangkok. The results show that
most of the bank employees, most of them females between 20 and 39 years old, are neither satisfied nor
dissatisfied. They are ambivalent. Transformational leadership style was seen to have a positive effect on
various facets of employee job satisfaction. Transactional leadership also turned out to be perceived as

having a positive effect on different facets of employee job satisfaction. So did laissez-faire leadership.
Employee job satisfaction was seen to have a positive effect on the various aspects of employee job
performance analyzed. It was found that leaders and managers combine the
various leadership styles identified in the research paper in proportions that produce a positive result
when administering their leadership duties. The proportions at which these leadership styles are
combined depend on the nature of the situation they encounter in the workplace.
In this study independent variables are leadership styles and employee satisfaction and employee
performance is dependent variable. Primary data was obtained by issuing questionnaires to respondents in
the Bangkok Metropolis Area (BMA). The respondents are banks employees who are working in different
branches of different banks in Bangkok. The sample size consists of 400 respondents who
represent the banking sector of the Thai economy.

This study was carried out to look at the extent to which this trend has continued and specially, the
relationship between leadership style and employee performance in an organization. The paper
evaluated the relationship between leadership style and employee performance in an organization.
The primary data from the study was through descriptive survey of leadership style in relation to
employee performance. The gross sectional study covered a representative sample of 200
employers/employees regardless of gender or position. The study was conducted in some selected
business organizations in federal capital
territory Abuja, Nigeria. Simple random sampling technique was used to select the respondents within
the selected organization, while the departments in each organization were grouped into sections out
of which representatives were chosen.
The study reveals the importance of a good leadership style as a veritable tool for employee
performance and effectiveness as indicated by the high regression between the leadership style and

prosperity of the independent variable, employee performance. That by implication, for any
percentage increase in good leadership style in an organization, the higher the employee performance
and effectiveness. Also there is need for effective leadership style options for business organizations as
it has a significant impact on their profit, human resources management, growth and development
which in turn has a great impact on the level of growth and development of the economy and towards
nations building. The findings of the study also revealed that effective leaders always get the best out
of their workers performance, Leaders who maintain harmonious working relationship
with workers will have positive impact on their performance.
