Examining Effectiveness of e-Governance Platforms for Service Delivery in Public Institutions: A Case Study of the Ministry of Lands Online Land Records Portal

The study assesses the Effectiveness of Leadership Styles in Enhancing Employee Performance: A Case Study of Ndola City Council. It looks at the relationship between different leadership styles and employee performance in a public sector institution. The study's goal is to determine the prevalent leadership styles used by managers at Ndola City Council and assess how these styles affect employee motivation, productivity, commitment, and overall organizational efficiency. Data were obtained using both quantitative and qualitative methods, including structured questionnaires and interviews with employees and department leaders.
The study examined important leadership styles, such as transformational, transactional, and laissez-faire, and evaluated their impact on employee morale and performance outcomes. The findings found that transformational leadership was the most effective in boosting teamwork, innovation, and job happiness, whereas transactional leadership helped with short-term task completion but hindered creativity. Laissez-faire leadership, on the other hand, was linked to lower levels of accountability and performance. The study shows that leadership style has a significant impact on employee performance and organizational effectiveness. It advises that the Ndola City Council use more participatory and transformational leadership approaches to increase staff engagement, improve service delivery, and boost overall institutional performance.
