The Effects of Leadership Styles on Team Motivation

This paper addresses a gap in the literature by exploring the dynamic leadership theory comprising of the three classical styles-democratic, authoritarian and laissez-faire and their relationship to team motivation in the context of the healthcare sector of Abu Dhabi. We review the best-known perspectives in the literature on team motivation and extant theories of leadership styles with culture as a moderator to the model that is illustrated in the conceptual framework of this paper. An overview of theories is suggested in the model and their impact on team motivation. Other findings that correlate the leadership styles with team motivation include an understanding of the style expected to hold true for its importance in employee performance and retention in the long term. This paper is the only attempt to date that explores the effects of the four leadership styles on team motivation.
