Employee Engagement and Retention: Analyzing the Role of Leadership Styles and Organizational Culture

Abstract

This article explores the utilization of advanced agricultural technology for sustainable agribusiness development through case studies and identifies future directions. The interplay between leadership styles and organizational culture is examined in shaping employee engagement and retention within organizations. Leadership styles, including transformational, transactional, and laissez-faire, significantly influence organizational culture, impacting employee behaviors and organizational outcomes. A positive and supportive organizational culture fosters higher levels of employee engagement and retention, whereas cultures marked by rigidity hinder engagement and retention. By understanding this interplay, organizations can develop strategies to cultivate effective leadership behaviors and foster a positive work environment. Future research should explore contextual factors' moderating effects on this relationship for a more comprehensive understanding. This study contributes to enhancing sustainable agribusiness development by emphasizing leadership and organizational culture's pivotal role in leveraging advanced agricultural technology.
