Statement of the problem
Employees' job performance, attitudes, and behaviors toward the company may be influenced by different leadership styles. According to Mullins (2005), a manager's leadership style is the way he or she interacts with employees. Employee attitudes and behaviors, as well as organizational performance, are heavily influenced by leadership style. Employee unhappiness with a company's leadership style is frequently expressed in high labor turnover, frequent complaints, strikes, and decline in work performance (Khan et al. 2010). In support of this, Timothy, C., Andy, T., Victoria, O.& Idowu, A.(2011) opined that inefficiency, poor achievement of results, shoddy handling of activities and programs, poor rendering of services, abuse of office, lack of initiative and maintenance culture, delays, corruption, unsatisfactoriness, irregularities, poor quality of work output, poor commitment, low morale, truancy, lateness to duty, idleness, laxity, indiscipline are some of the effects of poor leadership in Nigerian organizations.
Although many research on leadership styles have been conducted to explain the principles and impacts of leadership styles, particularly transactional and transformational leadership styles, but few have concentrated on laissez-faire leadership styles. This is because laissez-faire executives have a trusting and relying attitude on their staff. They don't micromanage or become overly engaged, and they don't provide excessive instruction or direction. They provide direction and accept responsibility when necessary, but their leadership style allows subordinates and team members to take the lead (Frischer, J. 2006). Therefore, more research into the influence of laissez-faire leadership style on employee productivity in private firms in Nigeria will aid in gaining a better understanding and increasing the validity of the findings. It is upon this premise that the researcher delved into the study on how laissez-faire leadership style affects employee performance.
