IMPACT OF LEADERSHIP STYLE ON EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCE IN FLOUR MILLS COMPANY MAIDUGURI BORNO STATE.
Abstract
This study investigates the impact of leadership style on employee performance in
Flour Mills Company, Maiduguri, Borno State. The research aims to identify the
predominant leadership styles practiced within the organization and examine how
these styles influence employee productivity, motivation, commitment, and overall
job performance. Using a descriptive research design, data were collected through
structured questionnaires administered to staff across different departments. The
study draws on established leadership theories such as transformational,
transactional, and autocratic leadership to assess their relevance and effects on
employee outcomes. Findings are expected to reveal the leadership approaches
that most effectively enhance employee performance, as well as those that may
hinder productivity. The study will also highlight the relationship between
leadership behavior, employee satisfaction, and organizational efficiency. Based
on the results, recommendations will be provided to help management adopt
leadership practices that foster improved performance, motivation, and
organizational growth. This research contributes to the growing body of
knowledge on organizational leadership and serves as a guide for leaders seeking
to optimize employee output in the manufacturing sector.
