Abstract

Organizations seek to ensure that their employees perform at their best. There is a need for the organization’s leadership to motivate the employees. The objective of this article was in investigate how leadership style affects how employees view their own performance. Leaders must lead by example to shape the employee’s attitudes and perceptions. To achieve this objective, the paper engaged in a critical review of literature. According to the results, the leadership style has significant impact on the encourage and drive of workers. Transformational and democratic leadership have been identified as the most significant in shaping employees’ attitudes and perceptions towards work and performance. Based on these findings, there is a need to ensure leaders are conversant with how employees can be motivated. This is besides the fact that other factors are linked to performance perception, such as the working environment, job security, and remuneration.
