The purpose of this case study research will be to explore the influence of leadership style on employee motivation in the office of the Upper West Regional Coordinating Council in Ghana. In order to achieve this objective, the study will seek to achieve the following specific objectives: Identify the leadership style adopted in the office of the Upper West Regional Coordinating Council. Examine the impact of the leadership style on the work behaviour of workers. Explore how the leadership style relates to the level of motivation among workers in the organisation and develop recommendations on an effective leadership style that can be adopted by public sector organisations in Ghana towards improving employee motivation.
Leadership has remained a prominent area of interest for both academics and practitioners for several decades. This interest is based on the notion that leadership styles correlate with organisational performance. In these modern times, when there are increased complexities surrounding the needs of society and increased competitiveness among organisations and nations, achieving high outputs and performance is even more critical. The role of leaders in assuring this high organisational performance is noted in the literature. Leadership is a process in which people are influenced to work towards organisational goals. It involves the ability to motivate people as well as building the capacity of followers to be able to achieve organisational goals. As noted by Akparep, Jengre, and Mogre, the leadership style adopted by an organisation impacts on operational success. Leaders influence the behaviour of workers through processes such as training, rewards, communication, and discipline.
