| Summary: | <p>The main purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of leadership styles on the</p><p>employees commitment. This study also aimed to examine the mediating role of</p><p>communication in the relationship between leadership styles and employees commitment,</p><p>in the context of the Dubai Immigration Department (DID). This quantitative study utilized</p><p>the survey research design. Using proportionate sampling and random sampling</p><p>techniques, 444 employees of the DID participated in this study. A set of questionnaires</p><p>was used to collect the required data. The data analysis was conducted using Structure</p><p>Equation Model (SEM) to test all the hypotheses pertaining to the causal relationship</p><p>among the variables. The findings of the data analysis revealed that the leadership styles</p><p>including transformational (=0.007, p<0.01), transactional (=0.117, p<0.01), and passive</p><p>leadership (=0.105, p<0.01) are all positively affected employees commitment in the</p><p>DID. The data analysis also discovered that there is a significant relationship between</p><p>transformational leadership (=0.096, p<0.01), transactional leadership (=0.065, p<0.01),</p><p>and passive leadership (=0.148, p<0.01) with communication. Additionally, the findings</p><p>revealed that there is a significant relationship between communication and employees</p><p>commitment (=0.097, p<0.01). In determining the mediating effect, this study discovered</p><p>that communication partially mediates the relationship between transformational</p><p>leadership style (= 0.061, p<0.01), transactional leadership style (=0.006, p<0.01),</p><p>passive leadership style (=0.131, 0.003) and employees commitment. Furthermore, the</p><p>transformational leadership style has the greatest potential to influence commitment among</p><p>DID employees. The findings of this study provide insights for policy makers and</p><p>practitioners to improve leadership styles and communication in the workplace that can</p><p>promote the commitment of the employees. For further study, it is suggested to conduct</p><p>longitudinal effects of leadership styles on employee commitment with other mediating</p><p>and moderating factors at other government sectors.</p> |
