Abstract

Workers tend to experience higher levels of contentment and dedication to their organizations when their leaders exhibit the courage to communicate a clear vision and articulate the mission within a friendly and pleasant working environment. It is advisable for leaders to embrace an open-door policy, fostering an atmosphere where employees feel encouraged to engage in discussions about work-related matters and other issues hindering their optimal performance. This research seeks to explore the correlation between leadership styles and organizational commitment, while accounting for the job satisfaction of frontline staff at Southern Railway's Chennai Division. The study focuses on a sample size of 775 participants, utilizing Karl Pearson's Coefficient of Correlation to examine the relationship between organizational commitment and leadership style while controlling for frontline staff's job satisfaction. Employees consistently desire leaders who excel at problem-solving, provide guidance, serve as role models through inspirational motivation and team spirit—essential elements for task accomplishment. This approach not only enhances extrinsic job satisfaction but also fosters active organizational commitment, positively impacting employee turnover. The study's findings indicate a positive partial correlation between organizational commitment and leadership style when factoring in the job satisfaction of frontline staff at Southern Railway.
