| dc.description.abstract | The main purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of leadership style on project success. To meet its purpose, primary data was collected from 80 employees working at UNHCR Ethiopia through closed ended questionnaires. The study used both descriptive and explanatory research designs. Descriptive design was used to describe the leadership styles in practice at the case organization and level of its project success. The explanatory design was set to test cause and effect link between leadership styles and project success. The data was analyzed through quantitative approach. The finding of this study revealed that two leadership styles namely transformational leadership style and transactional leadership styles have significant and positive effect on project success implying the more these leadership styles are in practice, the better the project success would be. Based on the results specific recommendations enhancing leadership practices at UNHCR are provided, including training programs and giving due attention for transformational leadership development and strategies as well as attention to integrate transactional approaches effectively.
