| dc.description.abstract | The aim of this study is to appearance at the effect of leadership style on employee motivation at ECX (Ethiopia Commodity Exchange). To accomplish the research goal, both primary and secondary data were used to study the effect of leadership styles such as transformational leadership styles, transactional leadership styles, and laissez-faire leadership styles (an independent variable) on employee motivation (a dependent variable). To measure leadership style and employee motivation, the Multi factor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ) and Employee Motivation Questionnaire (EMQ) were utilized to collect primary data. The quantitative approach was applied, and data was gathered via surveys. Inferential and descriptive statistics were applied to analyze the data; correlation analysis was used to identify and relate variables; and regression analysis was used to forecast changes in dependent variable as the independent variables change. The analysis of data resulting from administered questionnaires on employee motivation and leadership styles answered by 122 Ethiopia Commodity Exchange employees discovered that the transformational leadership style is the most commonly practiced leadership style with a high mean and standard deviation score, and the laissez-faire leadership style also has a positive and highly significant effect on employee motivation. Employee motivation is marginally yet positively associated with the transactional leadership style. The independent variables (Transformational, Laissez-faire, and Transactional Leadership Styles) are found to be excellent interpreters of employee motivation, which is a dependent variable. Moreover, all three leadership styles (transformational, transactional, and laissez-faire) were discovered to be statistically significant interpreters of employee motivation. According to the findings and conclusions, senior management should prioritize transformational and laissez-faire leadership styles, which are supported by transactional leadership styles | |
