    Leadership styles such as transformative, servant, democratic, laissez-faire and transactional, are effective in promoting employee engagement and productivity. Thus, the primary objective of this study was to ascertain how various leadership philosophies affect employee engagement at Dashen Bank S.C. Given this, a person-based cross- sectional survey with an 85% repose rate was conducted in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, involving 188 employees of Dashen Bank. The research participants were selected by a combination of proportional, random, and stratified by branching sampling approaches. A semi-structured questionnaire and interview checklist were developed in addition to the use of an in-person data collection method. To enter the data for the statistical analysis, SPSS version 27 was utilized. In this study, inferential analysis (correlational and multiple regression) as well as descriptive statistics were employed. To find the independent determinants of leadership styles on employee engagement, multivariable regression was fitted. The results show that servant, democratic, transactional, transformational, and laissez-faire leadership are positively influencing employee engagement. These leadership styles are also found to have a substantial beneficial impact on employee engagement but the dominate effect was observed by transformational leadership style. This study came to the conclusion that both of these leadership philosophies are supported by the majority of employee engagement. As a result, this study advises banks to place a greater emphasis on leadership behaviours that might enhance employee engagement in banking sector.
