Employee’s performance is crucial toward an organisation because it help to achieve expectations with new realities and challenges by providing them with training and courses. This study explores the multifaceted concept of employee’s performance and its enhancement within organisations, focusing on the significant role of ethical leadership. Employee’s performance, defined variably by different researchers, encompasses the achievement of business objectives and the qualitative and quantitative assessment of efforts. Key drivers for performance enhancement include a smarter economy, evolving market needs, globalisation and innovation. Elements such as organisational activities, policies, practices, knowledge management strategies and employee engagement initiatives are critical in promoting high levels of performance. The integration of internet technologies and a supportive work environment further influence performance positively. Ethical leadership, characterized by building trust, fairness and empowering behaviour, is identified as a crucial factor in influencing employee’s performance. Research indicates that ethical leadership fosters ethical behaviour, reduces counterproductive actions and improves overall performance outcomes. This study aims to understand how various factors, particularly ethical leadership, affect employee’s performance in contemporary organisational settings. This research investigate the effects of ethical leadership on employee’s performance through the mediating role of organisational citizenship behaviour, counterproductive work behaviour, voice behaviour and innovation on creativity. Besides that, this research has proposed the conceptual framework that employed the supported by the Job Demand Resources Theory, Social Exchange Theory and Social Learning Theory. To implement the research objectives, a total of 167 samples were collected through online self-administered questionnaire survey and the data is analysed by using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). Based on the statistic outcomes generated, there are 8 out of 13 hypotheses are supported. Hypotheses H1, H2, H3, H7, H8, H9, H11 and H12 were supported and H4, H5, H6, H10 and H13 were not supported.

The impact of different leadership styles on employee performance was investigated in this study, whereby the proposed styles included transformational leadership, Laissez-Faire leadership, democratic leadership, and autocratic leadership. Concomitantly, the moderating effect of gender between such leadership styles and employee performance was also tested. The required data were collected by utilizing a structured questionnaire and disseminating it through an online survey, engaging a sample size of 211 employees of multinational corporations in Malaysia selected using convenient sampling. Accordingly, IBM SPSS 24 was employed to conduct the reliability and normality assessment, while IBM SPSS AMOS 24 application was for the purpose of conducting the confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), structural equation modelling (SEM), and moderation analysis. As a result, a positive and significant relationship was found between the transformational, Laissez-Faire, and democratic leadership styles towards employee performance in Malaysia, respectively. Furthermore, the relationship between autocratic leadership and employee performance was statistically insignificant following the hypothesis testing. Meanwhile, the impact of transformational and Laissez-Faire leadership styles on employee performance was fully moderated by gender, whereas the correlation between democratic leadership and employee performance was only partially moderated. In contrast, gender posed a statistically insignificant impact for autocratic leadership and employee performance association. Moreover, the effect of transformational leadership on employee performance was more pronounced in males compared to females. The effect of Laissez-Faire leadership on employee performance is more pronounced in ‘female’ compared to ‘male’. Meanwhile, the effect of democratic leadership on the variable was more pronounced in females compared to males, but with a minimum difference. The managerial implications, limitations, and future research avenues are discussed accordingly.

The choice of style of leadership must attention about what the leader thinks about his power and authority on human nature. The leader assumes that people can basically self-address, where appropriate together to produce motivation. Leadership is a question of how to be... . We spent a good part of our lives learning how to do things, but in the end is the individual quality and character that define the great leaders. As for leaders, thrive through the efforts of people who lead. The basic task of a leader is to train a workforce highly productive and motivated. The leader has to overcome challenges to achieve a cohesive community that is well structured within and outside your organization which would invest in relationships and convey a vision to establish a communication between the workforce and an assorted market. The leader is one who worries about what is around you, near or far, inside or outside the organization, and that the true leader understands that the worker and not compromise the performance of the organization. The leader has to be circular in relations in the organization, as people want to join the cause because of the effects brought by its attitudes. The leader should propose a common framework of exit and enter a higher sphere where people realize they are being observed and valued by their ideas. Leadership is an interpersonal influence exercised in a situation and directed through the process of communication for the achievement of specific objectives.

Leadership is a process by which one person tries to influence others in the performance of a common task. Through leadership subordinates are imaginatively directed, guided and influenced in choosing and attaining goals. Personal interviews together with supplement questionnaires were administered on two Managers of Carson Products Ltdwho were randomly selected to collect data for the purpose. Data collected were manually handled, analyzed and discussed. Much research has been directed to the leadership phenomenon. Also three broad categories of leadership style exist: autocratic (theory X) democratic (theory Y), and free-rein styles. Managers will use these styles in their effort to emerge as a leader. A manager who is appointed to a position of organizational authority is not generally perceived as a leader at the out set. It is hoped, however, that this person will emerge as a leader of the subordinates, thus becoming a much more effective manager as well. The study revealed that leaders need to have knowledge, capacity, patience and initiative to motivate, communicate, manage conflicts etc, Every organization should therefore set-up human resource department to recruit, develop, motivate and advance people for leadership position.

L eadership matters, according to prominent leadership scholars (see also Bennis, 2007). But what is leadership? That turns out to be a challenging question to answer. Leadership is a complex and diverse topic, and trying to make sense of leadership research can be an intimidating endeavor. One comprehensive handbook of leadership (Bass, 2008), covering more than a century of scientific study, comprises more than 1,200 pages of text and more than 200 additional pages of references! There is clearly a substantial scholarly body of leadership theory and research that continues to grow each year. Given the sheer volume of leadership scholarship that is available, our purpose is not to try to review it all. That is why our focus is on the nature or essence of leadership as we and our chapter authors see it. But to fully understand and appreciate the nature of leadership, it is essential that readers have some background knowledge of the history of leadership research, the various theoretical streams that have evolved over the years, and emerging issues that are pushing the boundaries of the leadership frontier. Further complicating our task is that more than one hundred years of leadership research have led to several paradigm shifts and a voluminous body of knowledge. On several occasions, scholars of leadership became quite frustrated by the large amount of false starts, incremental theoretical advances, and contradictory findings. As stated more than five decades ago by Warren Bennis (1959, pp. 259–260), " Of all the hazy and confounding areas in social psychology, leadership theory undoubtedly contends for

A boss has the title. A leader has the people"-Simon Sinek. This quote holds true irrespectively with the field of work. A leader"s most valuable asset is his disciple/follower (employees). For ages "Leadership" has been a topic for conversation and how different leadership style evokes distinct responses from the followers. For an organization to be effective, it has to have a perfect balance between the demands of various stakeholders (owners, Customers, Community, etc.) and the needs of its employees. Also, for a leader to be successful his/her leadership style matters the most. We believe that an appropriate leadership style influences and ensures the prosperity and the economic growth of the organization as well as its employees. Therefore, this research aims to explore the impact of leadership on the progress of the organization and growth & performance of the employees. Further the study aims to explore the outcome of leadership style on motivation and commitment of the workers and also as a predictor of the group. The primary goal of the descriptive study will be to track down the pattern of cause & effect. We aim to conduct a Qualitative research to analyze the claim. The Research is currently limited to Mumbai and Navi Mumbai region of the Maharashtra. The research is limited mainly to the employees from FMCG, Information Technology and Banking & Finance Sector where employees are exposed to leadership on a high frequency.
