CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY

The influence of leadership style on job performance, satisfaction, stress and turnover intention has been well established in organizations. While leadership has an impacts on organizations, departments, teams as well as work climate and atmosphere (work), managements who want the best results should not be dependent on a single leadership style (Goleman 2000). Leadership is the active ability to inspire by one's own example to ardently motivate others to achieve with integrity and accountability their greatest potential, for both personal and professional progress. (Christin Lin, 2008). Thus, one of the key elements of concern in an organization is how to attract trained manpower and keep people who will be effective leaders.

According to (Farid Dadashev, 2007), "leadership is beyond focusing and motivating a group to enable them to achieve and sustain common goals. It involves being accountable and responsible for the group as a whole. It is about providing continuity, momentum, and flexibility in accommodating changes in the course of direction. Spencer Hutchins, (2007) argued that "leadership is more than just giving directions and seeing that they are carried out. It's about helping set a vision, inspiring people, enabling others to achieve results. Ryskia, (2002) further said that leadership occur when there is an objective to be achieved or a task to be executed, and when more than one person will be involved in doing it. Leadership centres about encouraging and inspiring individuals and teams to give their best to achieve a desired result.

Leadership is motivating your people, making informed, tough decisions for your organization, and accepting responsibility for the consequences of your actions. (Monisha Merchant, 2004). Organizational success in achieving its aims and objectives depend on managers and their leadership style. When the appropriate leadership style(s) is/are used, managers can have positive effect on employee's job satisfaction, commitment and productivity. Leadership style can be regarded as a series of managerial attitudes, behavior, characteristics and skills based on individual and organizational values, leadership interest and reliability of employees in different situations (Mosadeghrad, 2003).

An organization may have excellent plans and the instrument necessary for carrying them out. However, without effective leadership to unify the actions of the members of the organization the so called excellent plans may not be carried out effectively and thereby becoming a failed plan. It is based on the forgoing that this study seeks to investigate the effects of leadership styles specifically transformational leadership styles in recent time, on the job performance of employees in food and beverage industry.

Leadership is one of such that can exert tremendous influence on the survival of the organizations given that success or failure of an organization rests on its leaders who will attract trained manpower and keep people to be effective. Recently, there has been increase in the rate of business failure. In most cases, it was due to lack of effective leaders, the prime motive of any organization is to achieve it goals and objectives at the same time making profit. Hence, the need to effectively co­ordinate and motivate the employee towards this end by an effective leader.
