| Summary: | There are a lot of researchers have done many studies on leadership several
decades ago. Generally, the definition of leadership is to organizing a group of
people to achieve the organizational goals. Nevertheless, researchers find the
perfect match on different perspective of leadership styles. This is important to
measure what is the best leadership style in order to increase the employee
performance in any organizations. Additionally, we could see there is still a lack of
performance from many employees during their hours in the work place. Therefore,
with today's current situation, leadership is the highest priority of management
even in government sector. The main objective of this study was to investigate the
perceived leadership styles and the employee work performance in the studied
organization; Federal Public Sector in Sabah. The other objectives of this study are,
to identify whether there is any relationship between leadership styles applied by
the supervisor and the effect on staff/employee job performance. In addition, this
study also wants to investigate whether the biographical characteristics namely age
and lengths of service moderate the relationship between leadership styles and
employees performance. This study is conducted among staff in Federal Public
Sector in Sabah. Majority of respondents aged between 23 - 40 who's having a
working experience less than 10 years in the organization. About one hundred and
fifty (150) respondents have given their commitment to answer all questionnaires
distributed by the researcher. Therefore, it is very hopeful that this study reveals
perceived leadership styles have a significant positive relationship between
employees in Federal Public Sector in Sabah. In addition, leaders could adopt
innovative strategies using suitable leadership style in order to achieve work
performance at the very best level as well as to gain the long term success. |
