The Impact of Leadership Styles During the Crisis Period on Organizational Sustainability of Foreign Microfinance Institutions in Yangon, Myanmar

Abstract

This study aimed to analyse leadership styles, specifically transactional, transformational, and charismatic leadership, and investigate their relationship with organisational sustainability within 30 foreign microfinance institutions located in the Yangon region. This research used a descriptive research methodology with a quantitative approach. Data for the study were collected through a structured questionnaire. A total of 391 respondents were gathered using the convenience sample method, and the data was statistically analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 25. Thus, to investigate the relationship between independent and dependent variables, Pearson correlation and regression analysis were used. The findings from this study reveal that all variables related to leadership styles demonstrated statistical significance, allowing for the conclusion that there is a correlation between leadership styles and organisational sustainability.
