Assessing the Impact of Leadership Communication Styles on Employee Productivity in Hybrid Workplaces
Journal Title: The Chitransh Academic & Research - Year 2025, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
The shift to hybrid work environments, accelerated by the COVID 19 pandemic, has transformed leadership and communication dynamics. This study examines how leadership communication styles—transformational, transactional, democratic, and autocratic—impact employee productivity in hybrid workplaces. Using a mixed-methods approach with surveys and interviews across technology, healthcare, and financial services, the research fills a gap in hybrid leadership literature.The findings show that transformational and democratic leadership styles strongly correlate with higher employee productivity, engagement, and motivation, especially in remote teams. These styles encourage collaboration, trust, and effective communication. In contrast, transactional and autocratic styles negatively affect productivity, highlighting the need for adaptable leadership in hybrid settings. The paper underscores the importance of balancing autonomy and collaboration in leadership communication to optimize employee performance. Organizations are encouraged to adopt transformational and democratic leadership styles to improve productivity and satisfaction in hybrid work environments.
