EXPLORING THE DYNAMICS OF LEADERSHIP STYLES, INNOVATION, AND EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT: INSIGHTS FROM ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIOR AND DEMOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS

Abstract

This study examines the relationships between demographic factors, leadership styles, innovative leadership practices, employee engagement, and organizational culture within a diverse professional setting. Utilizing a sample of 383 participants, we conducted several analyses, including demographic analysis and analysis of variance (ANOVA), to identify how these factors interact within organizational contexts. Our findings reveal significant differences in leadership styles and their impact on organizational dynamics. Additionally, while innovative leadership practices varied marginally across management levels, there is a noteworthy connection between the frequency of feedback and employee engagement levels. Furthermore, the alignment of organizational culture with company values significantly influences the encouragement of innovation. This research contributes to understanding how various elements of organizational behavior and structure impact employee and organizational performance.
