What the paper says
Drawing on the contingency theory, we investigated the relationship between the leadership style of owner-managers of small sawmills in the Sokoban Wood Village in Kumasi, Ghana. Based on 315 employees from 63 sawmills, we proposed that leadership styles of owner-managers influence employees’ performance. We also hypothesized that the age and experience of ownermanagers moderate the relationship between leadership styles of owner-managers and employees’performance. Using simple linear multiple and moderated multiple regressions to test the hypotheses, we found that autocratic, charismatic, transformational and visionary leadership styles of owner-managers influence employees’ performance. Age and experience of owner-managers, however, did not moderate the relationship between leadership styles of owner-managers and employees’ performance.
