Leadership Styles and their Influence on Employees’ Job Motivation in Ludewa District Council

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to look into how Tanzania's Ludewa District Council employees feel about their jobs and the impact of  leadership styles. In today's society, it is difficult for firms to make the necessary investments to develop their leadership capabilities. This  study aims to ascertain how Ludewa District Council employees' job motivation is impacted by the leadership styles used by the  organization. Few researches are done in rural locations like Ludewa District. Studies from more urbanized locations may not fully  represent the manner in which the socioeconomic, cultural, and infrastructure aspects of Ludewa District influence leadership styles and  their effect on employee performance. The study specifically looks at how employees' motivation for their jobs is affected by democratic,  transformational, and laissez-faire leadership philosophies. Purposive sampling was used to select representatives from among the 80  respondents whose responses were obtained through questionnaires. The analysis section uses the Statistical Package for Social Sciences  software to examine research goals. The dependent variable was in the nominal scale of measurement. The study  demonstrates that a democratic style of a leader inspires more motivation among Ludewa District Council staff members. It illustrates how a democratic leadership style allows for group engagement and offers all employees an equal chance of conceiving the  understanding and achievement of corporate goals. In order to better suit the work environment and boost employee motivation, which  in turn increases job productivity, the study advises management and leaders at the Council to adopt certain leadership styles.
