Abstract
Employee retention is a major concern of the Nigerian banking sector today because of increased employee turnover. This can be said to be as a result of the series of banking reforms, mergers and acquisition of banks, loss of job commitment and low employee morale. The Nigerian banking sector is a strategic sector in the economy of the nation which drives the country’s economy; however, the challenges being faced in the banking sector will not only affect the banks but can have an adverse effect on the economy of Nigeria if employee retention strategies are not put in place. This study was therefore designed to investigate the impact of leadership style on employee retention in the Nigerian banking sector. More so, it was aimed at identifying the leadership style that best encourages employee retention in the Nigerian bank, with particular emphasis on the transformational and the transactional leadership styles. The primary data for this study was collected through questionnaires and analysed using the Statistical Package for Social sciences (SPSS). Data was collected through both open ended and close ended questions with a five point Likert scale. The study used the purposive, snowball and convenience sampling technique in order to get response from the respondents.
The study revealed that leadership style has a moderate significance on employee retention and that the transactional leadership style best encourages employee retention in the Nigerian Banking sector. The study recommends that leaders and managers should properly implement the exchange process of the transactional leadership style to mitigate employee turnover in the Nigerian banking sector
