The Effect of Leadership Styles on Organizational Commitment in Than Lwin Shwe Company

Abstract

The study aimed to determine the leadership styles employed at Than Lwin Shwe Company and to examine the impact of these leadership styles on organizational commitment. This study encompassed three leadership styles: transformative, transactional, and laissez-faire. Organizational commitment encompasses affective, continuance, and normative dimensions. This study employed a descriptive technique and multiple regression analysis. Primary data were gathered from all employees across eight designated departments.
Employees perceive that leaders are more predisposed to transformational leadership approaches, and affective commitment is more prevalent. The regression results unequivocally demonstrated that transformational leadership style has a significant positive effect on affective commitment, transactional leadership style has a significant positive effect on normative commitment, and laissez-faire leadership style has a significant positive effect on continuance commitment. Both transformational and transactional leadership styles have a significant and positive impact on overall organizational commitment. To achieve employee organizational commitment and enhance job performance, leaders must implement the suitable leadership style.
