“…Furthermore, employee participation initiated by autonomy‐supportive leadership is required in a workplace where the task is complex to achieve desirable outcomes because this scenario results in high employee satisfaction (Oyetunji, Adebiyi, & Olatunde, 2019). Besides, autonomy‐supportive leadership leads to employee participation, which likewise boosts the work's intrinsic valence, thus boosting the subordinates' satisfaction particularly those with a higher need for autonomy and achievements like the new generation employees (Rana, K'Aol, & Kirubi, 2019).…”

Public service motivation is empirically proven to satisfy the psychological needs of public service employees (PSEs). However, with the new generation of PSEs, ever‐changing demands and innovations are constantly altering the drivers of career satisfaction and well‐being. Hence, drawing on the basic psychological needs theory (BPNT), this study proposes an empirical model that investigates the determinants of the Gen‐Y of PSEs' well‐being and career satisfaction. Analysis of data from 217 Gen‐Y public service workers suggests that autonomous‐supportive leadership influences the employees' well‐being and career satisfaction through the fulfillment of certain basic psychological needs. These findings not only theoretically elucidate the intricacies of the relationship between autonomy‐supportive leadership, well‐being, and career satisfaction of Nigerian Gen‐Y PSEs; it also highlights the need for leadership style changes in the Nigerian public service. As unfortunately, the negative impact of the characteristic authoritarian leadership (which is relics of colonial and military governments) will be amplified among the new generation of employees.

“…Hinds (2019) findings showed that the perception of the employees toward leadership style, transformational and laissez-faire, had an effect on their commitment to the non-profit organization. Oyetunji et. al., (2019) result findings on the relationship of laissezfaire leadership style to behavior and performance of construction workers showed that, when laissez-faire is adopted as a leadership style on the construction site, it will lead to a negative correlation with the workers' performance.…”

This study aims to determine the relationship between leadership style of choreographers and commitment of student-dancers. Respondents for the study are from different HEIs in the entire Luzon. Data gathering has been conducted through online survey using LSQ and OCQ to 105 choreographers and 228 student-dancers. Frequency, mean, sum and standard deviation were used to describe the leadership styles of choreographers and the level of commitment of student-dancers, and Pearson-r to determine the relationship between leadership style and commitment. Results found out that most of the choreographers’ leadership style is democratic, while the commitment level of student-dancers was found to be moderately high. Leadership style has no significant relationship commitment which accepts the null hypothesis tested in the study. Further investigation was recommended to deeply understand the relationship between leadership style of choreographers and student-dancers commitment. Lastly, based on the results of this study, programs were designed to enhance leadership skills of choreographers and the commitment of student-dancers. The result of this study brings new information in the existing study in leadership and commitment, but is highly significant as new knowledge in the field of dance research.

“…The project teams are not only having different expertise but also constituted by members from various fields which make leadership vital in the construction industry. The project leaders may boost the sustainability performance in sustainability projects by influencing and reorganise their teams (Oyetunji et al, 2019). As stated by Ofori and Toor (2012), leadership is important in a project, organisation management, and the development of the construction industry.…”

A project manager is a crucial factor of a project's success, especially in sustainable construction projects. Their role as a leader is also observable with regard to achieving sustainability objectives in sustainable construction projects. In contrast to conventional projects, sustainable construction projects face more nuanced issues. The influence of leadership skills of the project managers is therefore becoming essential for the success of sustainable construction projects. This study examines the level of understanding of leadership skills among project managers in sustainable construction projects and determines the correlation between their experience and understanding of leadership skills. A questionnaire survey was carried out among 153 project managers with experience in the management of sustainable construction projects in Malaysia. The IBM SPSS software version 24 was used to perform a descriptive statistic, a normality test, and a Spearman's correlation test on the data collected. The results indicate a very high level of understanding among project managers regarding leadership skills in sustainable construction projects. Apart from that, there is a positive correlation between years of experience in sustainable construction projects and the level of understanding of leadership skills among project managers in sustainable construction projects. The findings of this research will serve as an avenue for future researchers to identify the necessary leadership skills for project managers to manage sustainable construction projects effectively.
