The Impact of Leadership Styles on Employee Engagement in Modern Organizations

Abstract In the evolving landscape of organizational development, employee engagement has emerged as a vital determinant of productivity, innovation, and retention. This paper investigates the relationship between leadership styles and employee engagement, with a specific focus on transformational, transactional, servant, autocratic, and laissez-faire leadership. Drawing from established motivational and organizational behavior theories, as well as recent empirical studies, the paper explores how different leadership styles influence psychological empowerment, workplace culture, and employee-employer relationships. Findings suggest that transformational and servant leadership significantly enhance engagement by addressing intrinsic motivators such as autonomy, purpose, and psychological safety. Conversely, autocratic and laissez-faire styles tend to undermine engagement due to their restrictive or disengaged nature. The study also considers contextual variables, including generational preferences, cultural factors, and the implications of remote work, arguing for a more adaptive and hybrid leadership approach in modern organizations. Ultimately, effective leadership is identified as a strategic function essential for fostering sustainable employee engagement and long-term organizational success.
