Authors: , ,
Abstract: The aim of the paper was to assess the level to which managerial styles in an organization affect employee performance among selected banks in Greece. The study focused on three major managerial styles which include; democratic, autocratic and participatory styles of management. The study utilized a descriptive research design and an online survey was used to collect relevant data from different employees attached to selected banks in Greece (National Bank of Greece, Piraeus Bank, Citibank Greece, and HSBC Greece). The survey targeted 220 employees though only a response rate of 87.3% was obtained based on 200 employees that answered questions contained in the survey questionnaire. The different study findings showed that all the managerial styles are positively associated with employee performance except autocratic managerial style which had a positive but insignificant relationship with employee performance. The study concluded that it is very important for managers to continuously apply different innovative managerial styles in executing their duties since this has a great impact on the general performance of employees.
