Therefore, leadership style and staff performance make up the company's overall performance and intended output. To reach the best possible outcome, it is important to understand how these two variables function together or how this tool works In addition to determining if a certain leadership style has a positive or negative impact on employee performance, the goal of this study is to identify and investigate the relationship between the chosen leadership style and employee performance. The researcher used the administration of Multifactor Leadership Questionnaires (MLQs) to the 815 employees of Coca-Cola Beverage Africa, Ethiopia, of which 60 held managerial positions and the remaining 755 employees were Specialists, Coordinators, Operators, CSRs, and Officers across all departments. The questionnaire consists of 11 questions about employee performance, 4 questions about Laissez-faire leadership style, 14 Questions for Democratic leadership, and 13 questions for Autocratic Leadership and the majority of the questions have been properly answered. The results of the survey indicated that while Democratic leadership has a very high positive influence on employee performance; Laissez-faire leadership styles have moderate effects on employee performance and the Autocratic leadership style has a low relationship with employee performance. Lastly, the researcher recommended that leaders in Coca-Cola Beverage Africa, Ethiopia (CCBA) use democratic leadership and laissez-faire leadership styles to improve the employees' performance and increase the organization's performance. However, leaders who use Autocratic leadership affect with a low the performance of the employees and decrease the performance of the organization. In contrast, employees perform less due to the leadership their leader employs. Therefore, Leaders should tend to use Democratic and laissez-faire leadership styles to increase the performance of the employees as well as increase the firm's target while decreasing employee turnover in the organization. Keywords: - Leadership, Democratic leadership, Autocratic Leadership, Laissez Faire Leadership, and Employee performance. | |
