This study seeks to determine whether the two different leadership styles have direct effects on the subordinate’s morale. This study employed quantitative methods for data collection. The respondents of this study are infantry soldiers from Border Regiment consisting of officers and other ranks. The research instruments consisted of structured questionnaires using MLQ (Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire) developed by Bass and Avolio (2004), along with items of morale.
