Leadership Style and Employee Performance

• Introduction – This paper seeks to investigate how leadership styles affect the performance of employees toward delivery of services to all interested parties.
• Findings
• Recommendations
• Summary Paragraph
• Conclusion – It is recommended that employers improve their worker’s output by determining what leadership style the employees respond the best too in order to improve their output. This will help in determining employees’ potentials as well as making them feel part of an organization and perform excellently. Also, a reduction in the autocratic leadership style could lead to better leadership within institutions as well as boost employees’ morale which is reflected within the final output in the business units involved.

• Literature Review:

• This paper observed both qualitative and quantitative approaches to collect and analyze the data about this study (Sougui & Hassan, 2015; Iqbal, Anwar, & Haider, 2015).
• Both primary and secondary sources of evidence were beneficial throughout the research.
• We ought to understand some of the selected styles of leadership namely participative, transactional, autocratic and democratic style (Basri, Rashid, Abashah & Samah, 2017). These styles of leadership impact employee performance differently (Khan & Nawaz, 2016).
• Democratic leadership is very effective, whereas autocratic leadership is better used for short term projects (Iqbal, Anwar, & Haider, 2015).
• Participative style of leadership is the most helpful in long term plans. The effect on employees as recorded was very active.

• Leadership – It is clear that the choice of leadership style depends on whether the plans or projects in question are either long term or short term. Each of these styles has its effects on employee performance in an organization term (Shafie, Baghersalimi & Barghi, 2013). The methods of interest include participative, transactional, autocratic and democratic style.
• Theoretical Framework – In a research study conducted by Osabiya Babatunde on how leadership impacts employees output, he states that a good relationship is required in any institution for all the stakeholders to attain their goals and objectives.
• Nature of Leadership – Leadership style is the way of inspiring persons, executing strategies and giving a direction that ought to be followed by a group of individuals (Khan & Nawaz, 2016).
• Leadership styles using theories and assumptions which resulted in a common acceptance that the transactional and the transformational methods of direction were the most prominent.

• The motivation of employees is dependent on the leadership style which in turn impacts the level of output (Babatunde, 2015).
• About employees’ right relationship and performance, Asrar-Ul-Haq and Kuchinke argue that the transactional headship style has the greatest substantial outcome on the worker result while laissez-faire has an undesirable consequence (Asar-Ul-Haq & Kuchinke, 2016).

• Leaders must understand the different types of leadership styles that exist so that they can know which style of leadership to implement.
• Leaders can encourage their workers by evaluating what leadership style employees respond positively to and implementing this leadership style.

• Participative- Encourages input from all staff members
• Transactional-Use rewards and punishments in order for employees to accomplish their work.
• Autocratic-All business decisions are made by the leader

• Changing the leadership style to the style in which employees respond the most positively to can improve employee performance.
• Participative leadership and democratic leadership are the most effective leadership styles to motivate employees to be productive and work on their own.

• The summary of the paper is:

• No leadership style is completely useless but rather useful depending on various circumstances.
• Each method is applicable in distinct scenarios in trying to streamline managerial functions when necessary (Belas, 2013).
• In general terms, participative style of control has a superior constructive consequence on workers’ performance in which condition employees feel authority and self-assurance in carrying out their duties and in the creation of dissimilar choices.
• In the autocratic style of leadership, only the leaders have the power to make decisions out of which workers feel substandard in doing work (Budihastuti & Hamali, 2016; Engda, 2015).
• In democratic style, workers have to some extent unlimited authority to carry out their duties, and therefore, their total output is superior to in autocratic method. It is, therefore, the mandate of the managers to choose the leadership style that most suits their organizations or situations as and at when required to do so.

This is a discussion interaction write up. At least 250 words; and also explain your why you feel this way.

Example of sure of this is:

As a leading philosopher in the 18th century, D’Holbach expressed his belief in free will as just an illusion and all human beings were existences of physical material, including the soul. In other words, everyone is a part of the big machine of the world. In D’Holbach’s philosophy, he claims that human lives are determined and no one can control one’s own life. For example, he points out that nobody can choose his birth, including to which country one is born, who one’s parents are, what one’s genetic makeup will be, and when one will die. These facts are added up and they are resulting the man. One cannot have free will to change it since it has already been chosen for one at birth. For these reasons, D’Holbach thinks that mankind is never in control of its personality, intelligence, and even its actions, due to the many factors that are out of its control.
Even though D’Holbach’s theory on humans having no free will has some good points, I personally think it is hard to accept, because from his point of view, there will be no difference between human individuals and machines. In my opinion, after our birth, besides the conditions that we cannot control, we can choose what kind of person we want to be, such as being kind or evil, harmonious or selfish, diligent or lazy. We also can make our own decisions on our marriage, career choices, where to live, and making plans as well as efforts to achieve those plans. Thus, D’Holbach’s statement is too absolute.

Research Paper on a Focused Topic Area

Introduction: What is your thesis or theory? Why is this topic important to discuss in your paper? Review of relevant literature of the topic selected balancing all relevant issues found. Based upon the secondary research, what are the relevant issues and what is/are the logical, evidence-based conclusion(s) you can draw?

Focus Papers should be three (3) pages long in addition to a Title Page and Reference page. They must also include at least five (5) or more References/sources.

• A1: Research and develop a Focus Paper that is designed as a Research Paper on a Focused Topic Area.
• Egalitarianism (https://www.google.com/search?q=egalitarianism&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8) Social justice (https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/social%20justice)
• Are the driving forces of the myriad laws that have been in effect since the founding fathers penned the constitution? These laws continue to evolve and grow in scope. As such, we recognize the need to treat the citizenry with the utmost of these protections. For social administration of justice though, we must view the topic from the lens of the criminal justice employee and administrator. Discuss the comparison and contrast of these rights as compared against those enjoyed by the citizenry.
• Please choose ONE of the Topic areas to research and write your paper on:
• Topic 1: Do those who serve in criminal justice administrative and operational roles POSSESS more, equal, or fewer social justice rights than the general population they serve.
• Topic 2: Do those who serve in criminal justice administrative and operational roles EXERCISE more, equal, or fewer social justice rights than the general population they serve.
