This study investigates the relationship between different leadership styles and the development of organizational culture, focusing on transformational, transactional, situational, and servant leadership. A quantitative research design was employed, collecting data from 200 mid-level and senior-level managers across diverse industries. Using the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ) and Organizational Culture Assessment Instrument (OCAI), the study measured leadership styles and organizational culture dimensions, including innovation, collaboration, stability, and ethics. The statistical analysis, including correlation and regression, revealed significant relationships between leadership styles and cultural dimensions. Transformational leadership showed the strongest positive correlation with innovation (r = .75, p < .01) and collaboration (r = .70, p < .01), while servant leadership was positively associated with collaboration (r = .78, p < .01) and ethics (r = .75, p < .01). Transactional leadership was linked to stability (r = .65, p < .01), emphasizing control and performance in structured environments. Situational leadership demonstrated flexibility, influencing both innovation (r = .68, p < .01) and ethics (r = .64, p < .01). The findings conclude that leadership styles significantly shape organizational culture. Transformational and servant leadership were found to foster innovation, collaboration, and ethics, while transactional leadership promotes stability. The study provides practical recommendations for managers to adopt leadership styles that align with their organizational goals, fostering a positive and productive work culture. Future research should explore these relationships across different industries and cultural contexts.
