Abstract
The study focused on leadership style
and employees‟ productivity evidenced from
banking sector in Nigeria. The banking sector
had been globally acknowledged as a pivot to
the economic growth of any country. The study
used questionnaires to elicit information from 80
staff of different banks in Ilorin metropolis
through a simple random sampling technique.
The data were analyzed using descriptive and
inferential statistics. 94.12% acknowledged
participatory as the most used leadership style in
banking sector. Two hypotheses were tested.
The result of hypothesis one shows that there is
significant positive correlation between
leadership styles (participatory and charismatic)
and employees‟ productivity variables. That is r
= 0.638 for effectiveness variable in
participatory leadership style and r = 0.369 and
0.596 for efficiency and commitment in
charismatic leadership style. The result of
hypothesis two shows r2
= 0.825, which implies
that about 82.5% of the variation in leadership
style is explained by the variables in the model.
The study thus recommends that participatory
and charismatic leadership styles should be
encouraged fully in the banking industry, so as
to boost employees‟ commitment
