They are aiming to analyze the effect of diverse leadership styles on employees’ performance and productivity in ‘Bank Misr’ as it is the primary public bank in Egypt which has more than 500 branches all-over the country; employing 12,500 people who serve more than seven million clients in Egypt. Researchers used primary and secondary research tools to be able to come up with adequate results, conclusions and recommendations which might help in revealing and explaining facts about this important issue especially in the public sector. To validate the research objectives, different scholarly views are presented of the effect of independent variables on dependent variables. Finally, the researchers came up with a main finding which is that the participative understanding leader is the main contributor in boosting employees’ performance and productivity, although ironically the dictator and autocratic leader is useful if the organization is going through a severe crises and highly turbulent circumstances. | ||
