Tiivistelmä
The purpose of the current study was to assess the impact of leadership styles on motivation and satisfaction among employees in public companies. To achieve this objective, the research was based on a case study of Posti Group Corporation located in Finland. Several leadership styles have been discussed at length including
transactional, transformational, trait, and contingency leadership styles.
Using a qualitative approach, the study utilized the telephone interview method to gather data and findings. The interviewees comprised 6 people with different work experience and positions. Their experiences ranged between one year and thirty-four
years. With the help of a thematic analytical review, the findings were analyzed based on various themes in line with the research question and objectives.
As per the findings and with the help of a spectrum on leadership models,
transformational and trait leadership were perceived to be instrumental in impacting employees’ motivation and satisfaction. On the contrary, transactional leadership was perceived to be ideal in motivating workers through rewards, and dissatisfying workers through penalties. However, it was evident that a hybrid system encompassing all leadership styles was necessary to obtain maximum yields.
