| dc.description.abstract | This research aimed to examine how different leadership approaches affect employee dedication at the Motor and Engineering Company of Ethiopia (MOENCO). The investigation focused on five leadership styles and sought to answer key questions: Which leadership style is prevalent at MOENCO according to its employees? What is the extent of employee commitment to MOENCO? How does the perceived leadership style influence employee commitment at MOENCO? Data was gathered from the head office in Addis Ababa using simple random sampling. Out of 589 employees, 310 were selected to receive questionnaires. Of these, 305 were returned, with five rejected due to incomplete information, leaving three hundred responses for analysis. The study employed an explanatory research design, utilizing the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) for data analysis. Correlation and linear regression were used to assess the relationship between leadership styles and organizational commitment. The findings revealed that all leadership styles significantly contribute to organizational commitment. However, the democratic leadership style showed the strongest correlation (0.684) with employee commitment, explaining 46.9% of the variance in the model. All leadership styles demonstrated a positive correlation with employee commitment. The study concluded that leadership style indeed affects organizational commitment. It recommended that managers should enhance their behavior to improve organizational commitment. Furthermore, it suggested that MOENCO should invest in creating a better work environment for all employees, potentially leading to sustained competitive advantages as the human aspect of an organization is not easily replicated by competitors. | |
