Leadership style in an organization is one of the factors that play significant role in enhancing or retarding the interest and commitment of the individuals in the organization (Bhargavi & Yaseen, 2016 Obiwuru et al., 2011). Leadership style practiced by an organization has an impact on the success or otherwise of its operations. It has been argued by some researchers that the most common problems affecting organizational performance in business and other institutions are poor attitude to work among workforce, inefficiency as well as ineffectiveness of leaders in most places, though others share a contrary view (Haque, Faizan, & Cockrill, 2017).

Organizations undergo rapid changes daily as a result of diverse factors.

This is premised on the notion that a style of leadership of an organization has a correlation with organizational performance (Rowe et al., 2005). For some decades now, how leadership impacts on organizational performance has gained prominence among academics and practitioners working in the area of leadership (Al Khajeh, 2018 Bhargavi & Yaseen, 2016 Igbaekemen & Odivwri, 2015 Giambatista, 2004 Rowe et al., 2005).
