%L eprints12023
%X In this paper the question of the relationship between leadership styles
and personnel commitment in private organisations in Nigeria is addressed. This is
done through exploratory study by the adoption of the survey research design
that utilised the administration of questionnaire to the employees of the
organisation as its major source of data collection. The data collected were
analysed using Pearson Moment Correlation Analysis with the aid of the Statistical
Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) 22.0 version software. The study revealed a
significant positive relationship between leadership styles (transformational,
transactional and laissez-faire leadership style) and personnel commitment of the
selected private organisations in Nigeria. It also showed that transformational
leadership style is mostly related to personnel commitment in the selected
private organisations in Nigeria. In line with the findings, the paper suggests that
management of the selected private organisations should pay keen interest to the
leadership styles such as transformational leadership style to be adopted to
facilitate personnel commitment in Nigeria for higher performance.
