Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
The power of leadership cannot be underestimated as it is among the determinants of the success and failure of an organization. When an organization has effective leadership, it is likely to experience improved employee productivity; good leaders provide purpose and direction for achieving organizational goals. Moreover, leadership is a significant element of teamwork and interrelationship among employees and shapes organizational behaviour. When an organization enjoys strong leadership, employees are likely to achieve organizational goals. When an organization has leadership that portrays social and emotional intelligence and interpersonal and technical skills, it increases employee productivity (Aqqad et al., 2019; Abdeldayem et al., 2021); therefore, it is unlikely to achieve organizational goals without effective and reliable leadership.
According to Johnnie (2006), leadership is the process of directing and influencing tasks related activities of group’s member. This implies that leadership must involve people that are followers or subordinates. Leadership is the pivot on which the success of any business stands
However, leadership is the ability to inspire other people to work toward the achievement of goals through a coordinated decision making. It is necessary in every organization because management needs it to secure co-operations among the diverse components-cadres that constitute the organization. With the existence of co-operation within the organization, the management is able to make proper decision and see its successful implementation to yield desired result.
There are several ways to enhance employee productivity and realize organizational objectives. According to Tang (2019), effective leadership improves employee attitude, morale, and creativity by improving teamwork, effective communication, and eliminating potential conflicts that might delay production. According to Johnson and Hackman (2018), leadership is challenging to define. It is when a group, an organization, or a person guides a team, other individuals, or an organization and their activities towards achieving the set goals. Tang (2019) states that leadership behaviour directly impacts employee job satisfaction and motivation, where good leadership and desirable behaviours enhance the organization’s success.
The result of Elton Mayo’s Hawthorne experiment between 1924 and 1932 provided a basis for group activity in an organization. It implies that the leaders must work hand-in-hand with his subordinates to achieve goals. He postulates that “once group collaboration is achieved the work relation in the workplace may reach a cohesion that may resist the destructive effects of any adaptive society”.
1.2 Statement of Problem
