Influence of Leadership Style on Performance: A Study in Labor Export Enterprises in Vietnam

Labor export is a potential and long-term development industry in Vietnam. Labor export activities are greatly affected by the socio-economic situation in the world. Therefore, managers of labor export enterprises always have to change, find new directions, and develop new operating processes for their enterprises. The manager's style will affect how the manager runs the business and achieves the business's goals. The author conducts research in Vietnamese labor export enterprises, with 125 questionnaires sent to 125 labor export companies in the first quarter of 2023. The author uses PLS-Smart to process the collected data, and the results show that democratic and liberal leadership styles have a positive impact on business performance, while the impact of autocratic leadership styles is not statistically significant.
