Examining leadership styles on employee performance: a quantitative study at a country resort in Malaysia / Muhammad Qayyim and Aida Roha Abdul Rasid

This research aims to identify which leadership styles can foster a positive work environment to enhance performance outcomes [1]. Previous studies have shown that high-quality leaders nurture their teammates' intrinsic motivation, build their team confidence and identification, instill team cohesion, and ultimately improve employee work performance [2]. This study employed a quantitative research design using purposive sampling. A total of 58 employees formed the population, with a sample size of 50 respondents who are staff at Staffield Country Resort. Data was collected through surveys using the Leadership Styles Questionnaire (LSQ) [3], and Work Performance Questionnaire (WPQ) [4]. Indicators of the Likert scale are as follows: 1: Never, 2: Rarely, 3: Occasionally, 4: Frequently, 5: Always were used for each parts B and C of the questionnaire.
