Abstract

Leadership is one of the key factors in the success of any company. Similarly, commitment of employees and leadership is regarded as a critical factor for the organizational productivity. In this respect, the aim of the current study is to investigate the suitable leadership styles based on its effects on employee affective commitment at family businesses in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. Accordingly, approximately 400 data have been collected from 35 various family businesses in the region. After evaluation, 388 data have been accepted for the further analyses. Data has been evaluated via SPSS and AMOS software packages. Based on the results, it has been observed that ethical leadership significantly leveraged employee’s affective commitment at the family businesses. Besides, transactional leadership had positive effects on employee affective commitment, while transformational leadership did not. Therefore, it’s recommended that residential managers should follow ethical conduct and guidelines to improve employee affective commitment in the region.
