dc.description.abstractThe primary purpose of this research is to investigate the effect of different leadership styles on the organizational culture of Yenetta Code, an educational institution teaching coding in AddisAbaba, Ethiopia. The study evaluates the various leadership methods employed by YenettaCode's top executives and their impact on the team. To achieve the research objective, both primary and secondary data were used to investigate the impact of leadership styles such asTransformational Leadership Style, Transactional Leadership Style, and Laissez-faire LeadershipStyle (an independent variable) on the organizational culture (a dependent variable). To measureleadership style and organizational culture, the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ) andthe Denison Organizational Culture Survey were utilized to collect primary data. Thequantitative approach was applied, and data was gathered via surveys. Descriptive statistics wereused to analyze the data; correlation analysis was used to identify and relate variables; and regression analysis was used to predict changes in the dependent variable when the independentfactors changed. The results from the analysis of a dataset derived from questionnaires onorganizational culture and leadership styles were completed by 92 Yenetta Code employees. AtYenetta Code, the study unveiled noteworthy positive associations between Transformational Leadership and Organizational Culture, as well as between Transactional Leadership andOrganizational Culture. Conversely, the research indicated a lack of a strong and substantial relationship between Laissez-faire Leadership and Organizational Culture. These findingsunderscore the influential role of Transformational and Transactional Leadership in fostering a positive organizational culture. Importantly, the study did not identify any major issues ofmulticollinearity among the independent variables, ensuring the validity of the observed relationships. These findings emphasize the importance of effective leadership in shaping athriving organizational culture. Keywords: Leadership styles, Organizational Culture Transformational, Transactional, andLaissez-faire.
