Leadership Styles Dictate Employee Motivation

Upon reading my fellow classmate Junbeom Yoo’s blog post on the significance of different leadership styles, I completely agree with him about how different leadership styles can greatly affect the stability of an organization. In the group case project, my group and I analyzed the OBHR issues in the movie Horrible Bosses, and one of the characters in the movie, Kurt Buckman, immediately began to hate his job from loving it the moment his affable boss Jack Pellitt dies and his despicable son Bobby takes over.

Because Kurt only liked his job due to the camaraderie that his former boss Jack shared with all the employees, he immediately begins to hate how Bobby establishes a toxic workplace that is filled with prostitutes and drugs. This helps explain how different leadership styles severely impact the motivation of employees to perform their jobs and how much they enjoy it.
