Abstract

Research has shown that leaders play a crucial role in driving a team’s performance. In performing this role, leaders use different styles of leadership. Some leaders combine different leadership styles, such as directive and participative, and adjust them according to their situation. Leaders exist at varying hierarchies within the organizational structures, from lower-level supervisors to the top management level. As the new organizational paradigm emerges, decentralization and empowerment of lower-level leaders become essential in driving the organization’s success. At the same time, leadership development at different hierarchies improves as information sharing, empowerment, and teams’ development becomes more common. This study aims to understand different effective leadership styles in organizational leadership hierarchy, specifically job satisfaction and Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB). This research adopts the correlational design with a cross-sectional survey design. The model uses a variance analysis for data analysis. The study found that there is no variance in leadership style in an organizational hierarchy. This research shows that the transformational style is most effective in driving OCB and job satisfaction.
