Abstract
This study focused on Leadership Style, Employee Motivation and Commitment: Empirical Evidence from a Consolidated Organization in a Meltdown Economy. The study took a descriptive survey approach. The study covered a population of 2912 employees drawn from Nigerian breweries and Starline Nigeria limited, Aba, Abia State. Taro Yamene was used to draw a sample of 352 members of staff from the population and the reliability of the research instrument was ascertained using spearman rank correlation coefficient (r) which yielded a 0.93 (93%). Data was sourced from the 350 completed and returned five point likert scale questionnaire out of the 352 administered on the staff members of Nigerian breweries and Starline Nigeria limited, Aba. The data gathered was analyzed with non-parametric kruskawalis test (H) using the 20.0 version of statistical package for social sciences (SPSS). It is concluded in this study that the type of leadership style adopted by organizations has significant effect on the motivation and commitment of the employees. However, the empirical evidence obtained from the data analyzed shows that the effect of leadership style is more manifest on employees‘ commitment than it is on their motivation Sequel to the findings and conclusion above, it was recommended that; Organizations should adopt an integrative approach to leadership in order to maximize the strengths of the different styles and that Choice of leadership should not be universally adopted but be made a function of situations and the intended goals of the organization at any given time.
