Data was collected from 350 respondents via questionnaire and was analysed using correlation, multiple regression and Hayes PROCESS techniques. The findings of this study revealed interesting results of the mediation effect of both democratic and autocratic leadership styles between favouritism and job performance among employees in the family-owned business.
