PROFESSIONAL PROJECT4Introduction:Leadership has acquired drastic recognition as a niche topic in business managementresearch and the outcomes of previous research studies imply the fact that distinct leadershipstyles have the capability to promote employee satisfaction and reduce employee turnover.However,Aydin, Sarier & Uysal said that, there has been a clear lack of understandingpertaining to the interrelation between leadership and organizational outcomes such asemployee satisfaction and turnover (Aydin, Sarier & Uysal, 2013).
