ABSTRACT: Leadership is a complex concept that involves a
process of different types of actions and developing several styles. It plays
an important role in organizations. It is a type of power that has the ability
to influence someone’s behaviors or attitudes. In order to achieve
organizational goals, leaders are expected to lead their employees toward a
great performance, therefore they utilize different leadership styles depending
on the situations that they face. This study focuses on three types of
leadership styles: democratic, autocratic, and laissez-faire and how they can
impact or influence the job performance of employees. The study has the objective of examining the impact of leadership style
on employee performance. It shows the objectivism perspective and the
validation of the framework based on numerous observable facts and figures. The
research perspective is required to focus on human behaviors that could result
in a rational explanation of observable phenomena and provide recommendations
on employee job performance. The evaluation of the aforementioned criteria
shows a suitable mix of positivist and interpretative approaches because the philosophy
of the study correlates with the philosophical belief of observable experiences
when generalizations are produced while focusing, simultaneously, on subjective
experiences.
