Abstract
This study examines the impact of leadership styles on employee engagement and organizational performance at DADB India Pvt. Ltd., a German-based company operating in the Indian technology and education sector. Using a descriptive research design, data was collected from 120 employees across diverse demographics through structured questionnaires. Statistical tools such as chi-square, correlation, and ANOVA were applied using SPSS to analyze the relationships between leadership styles, engagement levels, and business outcomes. The findings reveal that transformational and participative leadership styles significantly enhance employee motivation, satisfaction, and alignment with organizational values, while transactional and authoritarian styles show weaker associations. The results highlight the importance of leadership development programs that foster communication, recognition, and empowerment. This research provides empirical evidence that effective leadership is central to driving employee engagement and organizational success, with recommendations for both practice and future research.
