Particularly, it is a vivid fact that organizational commitment of academic staffs in the tertiary level institutions is interesting and vital because of the great importance they have in creating qualified and educated graduates to the country. This research is then aimed at assessing the relationship between leadership styles (Transformational, Transactional and Laissez-faire) and employees' organizational commitment (Affective, Continuance and Normative commitment) in the case of Debre Birhan University. Respondents were purposively grouped into two (Academic and Administrative) and probability sampling technique called stratified sampling was applied to each stratum and the total sample size of 242 (22 leaders and 220 employees) respondents were considered. Two separate instruments Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire and Organizational Commitment Questionnaire were used to measure leadership styles and employees' organizational commitment respectively. Finally, the responses of the respondents were analyzed using SPSS (version 16.0). The findings of the study revealed that Transformational Leadership style has a moderate, significant positive relationship with affective commitment while weak, but significant positive relationship with both continuance and normative commitment. While Transactional Leadership style has weak, but significant and positive correlation with all dimensions of commitments and Laissez-faire leadership style has extremely low, but insignificant, negative association with all dimensions of commitments. The overall finding of this study suggest that Leadership style do play important roles in determining levels of affective, continuance and normative commitments, especially Transformational and Transactional leadership styles. So, the institution's leaders should improve the level of employees' commitment, especially affective commitment dimension, and retain them through actually practicing effective type of leadership styles and creating conducive environment to employees.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study was conducted to determine if a relationship exists between the perceived leadership style of supervisors and the organizational commitment level of the subordinate employees within Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCUs). Additionally, the study examined whether a difference exists in the organizational commitment levels of TCU employees based on the different leadership styles (transactional and transformational). A total sample size of 262 employees from seven Tribal Colleges and Universities across the United States was used in the study. Each participant provided information via an online survey. The perceived leadership styles of supervisors across all levels in the TCUs were examined using the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ 360 Form 5X Short) developed by Avolio and Bass (2004). Organizational commitment was measured through the TCM Employee Commitment Survey which is based on the Three-Component Model of Organizational Commitment from Meyer and Allen's (1991) Organizational Commitment Questionnaire (OCQ). The results of the study indicate a statistically significant positive correlation between each of the perceived leadership styles of supervisors and normative and affective commitment of the TCU employees. However, in each case, only transformational leadership significantly predicts normative and affective organizational commitment when all three leadership variables (transformational, transactional, and Laissez-faire) are included in the model. The relationship of transformational leadership to normative and affective organizational commitment is positive. The results indicate a statistically significant negative correlation between the perceived leadership style of the supervisor and continuance commitment of the TCU employees with only transformational leadership significantly predicting continuance organizational commitment in the model. The relationship of transformational leadership to continuance organizational commitment is negative. Multiple regression analyses were also conducted to compare different demographics such as gender, race, and employee position in the TCU. The results of this investigation lead to the recommendation that Tribal College and University supervisors, administrators, and academic researchers should focus on transformational leadership techniques and the continuous sharing of the vision and mission of the respective TCU in order to help foster normative and affective organizational commitment in their employees.

This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between the leadership styles of black top managers, employee commitment and business performance in state-owned enterprises. With the transformation policies implemented in a post-democratic South Africa, the appointment of black managers into top management positions, in state-owned South African organisations, came with negative connotations and stereotypes attached to African leadership. These connotations have led to a concern about the ability of black managers to provide effective leadership in organisations. Whilst it is critical to appreciate that the business performance of an organisation is influenced by a cocktail of factors, indeed, leadership capability is often primarily questioned when strategic objectives are not achieved. It is for these reasons that the objective of this study sought to identify the prevalent leadership styles displayed by black top managers and to determine if these styles have any association with employee commitment and the business performance of State-owned Enterprises (SOEs). The study also explored the possible role of span of control in moderating the relationship between leadership styles and employee commitment. The study is grounded on the positivism philosophy. A deductive approach was employed to formulate the hypotheses so as to respond to the objectives of this study. A non-probability sampling method, specifically the judgemental sampling technique, was used to select black top managers in the SOEs. A survey method was employed to collect primary data in a cross-sectional manner from 232 direct reports of 38 black top managers in the state-owned enterprises in South Africa. The information collected was complemented by secondary data about the span of control of black top managers and the business performance of their units. Statistical analysis of collected data revealed that respondents perceived black top managers to predominantly display a transformational leadership style coupled with a contingent reward facet of the transactional leadership style. It was also observed that the transformational leadership style displayed a relationship with the affective commitment of employees. The study also found that as the span of control increases, the management by exception (Active) facet of transactional leadership style moderates the relationship between leadership style and organisational commitment. The findings of this study contribute to the building of a body of knowledge on African leadership within the context of management literature. This is owing to the fact that it provides invaluable insight to the leadership behaviour displayed by black top managers in SOEs within a South African context. While caution on attempts to generalise the studyaÌ22́Ơ4́Øs findings is necessary, in the studied population, top managers in South African SOEs and indeed their organisations may benefit from displaying a transformational leadership style as it lends itself to employee commitment. Further, the study also provides insights on moderating effect that span of control has in the mix of leadership style and employee commitment. The study contributes to theory and practice in the territory of leadership in an African context by highlighting the predominant usage of the transformational leadership style among black top CEOs in SOEs in South Africa, perhaps owing to the societal premium placed on the unique Ubuntu notion in South Africa. Besides this, the study also empirically demonstrates the link between the Management by Exception facet of the transactional leadership style and the affective commitment of employees. The implication of this finding is that black top managers SOEs that invest in the development practices coincident, particularly when spans of control are high, can engender levels of commitment in their employees that would prove beneficial to the organisation.

Explore how the leadership style relates to the level of motivation among workers in the organisation and develop recommendations on an effective leadership style that can be adopted by public sector organisations in Ghana towards improving employee motivation. Leadership has remained a prominent area of interest for both academics and practitioners for several decades. This interest is based on the notion that leadership styles correlate with organisational performance. In these modern times, when there are increased complexities surrounding the needs of society and increased competitiveness among organisations and nations, achieving high outputs and performance is even more critical. The role of leaders in assuring this high organisational performance is noted in the literature. Leadership is a process in which people are influenced to work towards organisational goals. It involves the ability to motivate people as well as building the capacity of followers to be able to achieve organisational goals. As noted by Akparep, Jengre, and Mogre, the leadership style adopted by an organisation impacts on operational success. Leaders influence the behaviour of workers through processes such as training, rewards, communication, and discipline.
