In addition, we could see there is still a scarcity of performance from many workers during their hours in the work place. Therefore, with the global growth happening everywhere currently, we have to deliver a good and effective leader to bring out the success of his people and accordingly to produce the effectiveness in the organization.

Firstly, to identify whether there is any relationship between transformational leadership styles employed by the supervisor and the effect on managers' job performance. Secondly, to identify whether there is any relationship between transactional leadership styles employed by the supervisor and the effect on managers' job performance. Thirdly, to identify whether there is any relationship between passive avoidant leadership styles employed by the supervisor and the effect on managers' job performance. Lastly, to identify the most dominant leadership styles employed by the supervisor that contributed to the performance of the managers. This study is conducted on managers in the sample organization; Malaysia Airports Technologies Sdn. Bhd. Majority of respondents were around 30 - 39 ages whose having a working experience less than 3 years in the organization. About one hundred and fourteen (114)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 managers in Malaysia Airports Technologies Sdn. Bhd.
