employee performance in organisations that they work in. Leaders have to enhance
the role of transactional leadership styles in organisations that they manage them,
to improve and develop the relationship between them and their subordinates in to
increase the performance of their employee. Leaders should not follow the
transformational leadership style because the results of previous studies are

organisations. For further research in this scope, researcher recommended to conduct
