This paper explores how different leadership styles affect employee performance. Through literature review and analysis, the study found that there is a significant positive correlation between transformational leadership styles and employee performance, while transactional leadership styles show different degrees of positive or negative effects. In addition, laissez-faire leadership style was usually associated with lower employee performance. The findings highlight the importance of leadership styles in enhancing organisational effectiveness and employee job satisfaction, and provide a theoretical basis for organisations when selecting and developing leaders.
