Abstract

Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) have become influential development agents in the developing world in recent decades through their so-called “sustainable” activities. This study aimed to examine leaership style in Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) in Kuching. Data was collected from 120 employees in 27 NGOs. Leadership was measured by Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ) developed by Bass (1985). Results of the instrument’s Cronbach Alpha measurement show that the score of reliability is above .90 which indicates an acceptable level. The results indicate that the dominant leadership style in NGOs is transformational. This study provides insights on leadership in NGOs. The findings of this study may help NGOs to enhance its leadership capabilities and leadership development programs for the NGOs leaders to develop their leadership capacity. Limitations and recommendations are also discussed.
