| Abstract [eng] |
The primary objective of this research is to find out how different leadership styles are; transformational, transactional, and laissez-faire, impact the commitment of employees. The study also examines the mediating effect of empowerment and communication effectiveness in this relationship. This Study adopted a quantitative approach where a survey method is used to get data. Leadership styles, employee commitment, empowerment, and communication effectiveness were measured with the help of structured questionnaire which was based on the established scales. Statistical methods such as regression analysis have been employed on data from 170 employees in different organizations to test the hypothesized relationships. The results demonstrate Transformational leadership has positive influence on affective and normative commitment of the employees. The work continued to show that transactional leadership had more positive effects on continuance commitment and that laissez faire leadership had little positive effect. It was found that empowerment and communication effectiveness mediate the relationship between leadership styles and employee commitment in contributing to employee overall commitment. The study concludes that there is a significant and positive relationship between leadership styles with employee commitment and transformational leadership enhances employee commitment compared to the manager’s other styles. |
