IMPACT OF LEADERSHIP STYLES ON THE PERFORMANCE OF PUBLIC SECTOR EMPLOYEES IN ZANZIBAR

Abstract

The focus of the research is on how different types of leadership affect the productivity of public sector workers. The purpose of this study is to analyze the relationship between leadership styles and the productivity of chosen public sector organizations. The study had three main goals: to catalog the different types of leadership used to affect worker productivity, to analyze the efficacy of management policies in this regard, and to assess the impact of leadership style routines on productivity in government agencies. The researchers used an exploratory approach to the investigation. Respondents in Zanzibar provided the data used to develop fresh understanding of the island. The information was collected from the 200 employees who took part in the corresponding case study by means of questionnaires. SPSS was used to analyze the data collected. Employee performance in the public sector is influenced by a combination of leadership styles, including democratic, authoritarian, paternalistic, and transformational, with the Laissez-faire style dominating. In addition, the leadership practices and policies of public agencies have an effect on worker productivity. As things now stand, it's clear that a leader's approach to management has a significant impact on the output of public sector workers. For significant change to occur that has an effect on employee performance in public organizations, the study suggests that laissez faire leadership, which have previously dominated practice and established the pattern of actions among employees, must be eradicated and fought.
