Abstract
Description
In this paper the question of the relationship between leadership styles and personnel commitment in private
organisations in Nigeria is addressed. This is done through exploratory study by the adoption of the survey research design that utilised the administration of questionnaire to the employees of the organisation as its major source of data collection. The data collected were analysed using Pearson Moment Correlation Analysis with the aid of the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) 22.0 version software. The study revealed a significant positive relationship between leadership styles (transformational, transactional and laissez-faire leadership style) and personnel commitment of the selected private organisations in Nigeria. It also showed that transformational leadership style is mostly related to personnel commitment in the selected private organisations in Nigeria. In line with the findings, the paper suggests that management of the selected private organisations should pay keen interest to the leadership styles such as transformational leadership style to be adopted to facilitate personnel commitment in Nigeria for higher performance.
