ABSTRACT

This study surveyed the impact of leadership style on the

performance of selected transport companies in Benue State,

Nigeria. Three transport companies were drawn in Benue State for

the study, namely: Benue Links Nigeria Limited with its headquarters

located at Wurukum, Makurdi, the Benue State capital. Denjim

Transport Company has its own corporate headquarters at 97 Gboko

Road Makurdi, Benue State while Iwiene Nigeria Limited has its head

office located at 55 Onitsha Street, Wuru Makurdi, Benue State,

Nigeria. Inherent to poor leadership style which had impeded on the

performance of these companies had led to this study. The

researcher adopted a survey design, with a population of 120 drawn

from the selected companies. This was achieved through proportional

stratified random sampling techniques. A five points rating scale

questionnaire was used to collect primary data from the research

population. The collected data were analyzed and interpreted using

percentage and mean statistic while the hypothesis were tested with

chi-square. The study discovered that leadership style affect

organizational performance of any given company. That the style of

leadership a manager adopted has a direct effect on the

organizational performance of the employee. The study among others

things discovered are, that participatory style of leadership and

delegation of duties enhances the employee performance and

attainment of corporate goals and objectives. The study therefore

concludes that achievement of organizational goal and objective

depends solely on the leadership style an organization adopted. It

therefore recommends that, since leadership style is one of the basic

tools used in attainment of organizational goal/objective, every

organization should ensure that the right leader man their

organization in order to achieve their set goal/objective.
