Management today‟s world is about management in times of rapid change. The need to develop better
leadership styles is becoming increasingly important in all organizations. The purpose of this work is
to ascertain if there is a relationship between the leadership styles and the employees‟ performance,
particularly in the Telecom Engineering companies, meanwhile to determine the relationships between
leadership styles and employees' job performance through the mediators: employees' motivation, job‟s
satisfaction; whether these relationships will be stronger for Transformational than for Transactional
leaders, Laissez-Faire leaders or Servant leaders. This project reviews as well four recent and widely
utilized leadership styles: transformational leadership, servant leadership, transactional leadership, and
Laissez-faire leadership. There is a lack of total agreement in the reviewed literature as to the best
leadership style to be used. Transformational theory is considered by many to be an improvement to
the transactional theory of leadership. There appears to be an ever increasing number of studies
supporting the benefits of the transformational theory. In today‟s ever changing climate, there are some
researchers whose findings suggest the optimal leadership style may be a blend of Servant,
transactional and transformational styles. Quantitative research method would be practice in this
research. The questionnaires will be distributed only to employees in the Telecom Engineering
companies. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) and SPSS are approach which will be used as a tool
to analyze the results in future in this research, due to the complexity of the model and the limitation of
multi dimension analysis tools in quantitative research such as multiple regressions, factor analysis,
and discriminant analysis. A proposed theoretical framework of this work has been decorticated in this
paper.

INTRODUCTION
The conceptual framework for this study is done from management and organizational behavior theory. The
focus of this study is on leadership styles and their impact on employees‟ performance. Leadership is a function
of management; leadership styles have their effect on group or individual within an organization. Leadership is
the process of initiating group activities toward goal setting and goal attainment.
Human resource is one of the prime capitals of any organization, which is not only to improve the outcome but
also to compete with others. Hence, to improve the performance of the employees is one of the most important
goals of our today‟s organizations. In recent years, both academicians and practitioners have highly recognized
the significance of effective employees and good leadership in the firm‟s performance (Kehoe and Wright,
2013). Furthermore, organizational performance depends on the performance of the people in that organization.
As we used to say group performance depends on the individual performance. Among the objectives of any
organization are profit making and attainment of maturity and liquidity status. In reaching of the objectives of
the organization, it allocates scarce resources to competing ends. The successes of the organizations contribute
