Abstract:
Leadership styles and their impact on employee motivation form the crux of
this research. The study focuses on three primary leadership styles: transformational,
transactional, and laissez-faire. Data was collected through a comprehensive survey
from a diverse range of employees.
The findings reveal that transformational and transactional leadership styles
significantly enhance employee motivation. However, the influence of laissez-faire
leadership on motivation was found to be less consistent. The study also underscores
the complexity of motivation, suggesting the need for leaders to adapt their style to the
unique needs and aspirations of their employees.
This research contributes to the ongoing discourse on leadership and
motivation, providing valuable insights for leaders, managers, and organizations. It
also highlights the need for future studies to further explore this dynamic interplay,
particularly in different sectors and geographical locations
