Types of Leadership and Employee Productivity
As mentioned earlier leadership plays a critical role towards improving productivity within organizations. Individual leaders and their styles of leadership determine how employees respond to various organisational needs both internal and external. Leadership plays additional roles other than the conventional roles of directing and coordinating subordinates within organisations (Chen, Eberly, Chiang, Farh & Cheng, 2014). Leadership titles are not necessary for individuals to show leadership traits. All individuals who have employees working under their supervision or reporting to them have the ability to show leadership qualities. For instance, team leaders, managers, executives, and directors all have leadership roles to play within their respective portfolios (Wang, Oh, Courtright & Colbert, 2011). However, top leadership have the biggest roles to play by influencing individuals in other leadership positions as well as lower level employees.
Different organisations employ different types of leadership in their respective portfolios. Leadership may also, be dependent on the styles applied by specific leaders based on their experience, principles and beliefs. Some types of leadership regarded to be better than the others. In this regard, specific types of leadership are preferable in specific situations. It is the responsibility of individuals in leadership positions to identify the uniqueness of each situation and offer the appropriate guidelines to employees (Yukl & Mahsud, 2010). In this regard, a flexible approach to leadership advocated for due to the diverse dynamics that are unprecedented and unpredictable. Leaders should have the capability to gauge situations and organisational needs and apply the most effective style that is applicable to that situation.

The research explores the correlation between leadership styles and employee productivity specifically within the Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) Saudi Arabia service center, aiming to understand why performance has recently declined.
The study centers on leadership theories, the impact of various management styles on motivation, the role of employee skills and satisfaction, and the necessity of resource facilitation.
The main objective is to identify factors hindering employee productivity, assess existing leadership gaps, and recommend effective management interventions to restore performance levels.
The author utilizes a qualitative methodology, conducting an online survey of employees and face-to-face interviews with management to obtain deep insights into organizational behavior.
The main body covers a review of relevant leadership literature, the practical research design, the presentation of survey findings, and a critical discussion of the results compared to existing theory.
The document is characterized by terms such as Leadership, Productivity, JLR, Organizational Performance, Motivational Schemes, and Employee Satisfaction.
The study finds that the rigid top-down approach alienates employees and prevents management from understanding the actual challenges and needs faced by the staff on the ground.
As a multinational entity, JLR faces challenges in managing a diverse workforce; the study suggests that a lack of transnational leadership skills in accommodating these cultural dynamics contributes to low productivity.
The author recommends that leaders adopt a more participative approach, moving away from purely instructional roles to become active team members who support employees in their daily tasks.
