Abstract
Leadership is a crucial tool that determines any organisation's success or failure. This research study investigates the effectiveness of the various leadership styles on performance outcomes in the banking sectors, using commercial banks in Nigeria and the Republic of Ireland as the case study. About four (4) research objectives were stated, and three (3) were to be tested. The study critically examined the following leadership styles: transactional, transformational, participative, laissez-faire and autocratic/authoritarian. The study employed a quantitative research method. The survey tool (questionnaire) was administered via Google form, and about 100 respondents were required as the sample size for the research study. The study, with the aid of the Statistical Tools for Social Sciences (SPSS), was able to analyse the retrieved data, and the appropriate tests employed to test the stated hypothesis and analyse the stated objectives. The result of the study shows that transactional and transformational leadership styles are the most effective, followed by the participative leadership styles, and these positively impact the performance outcome in the banking sector. The study concluded that these leadership styles be employed in the banking sector. The study recommends that future research widen the scope, looking into diverse sectors and countries. This study will be of great importance to the banking sector as it will serve as a means of self-evaluation for them.
