Abstract

Leaders inspire workers by executing organization systems that maximize their potential, allocating resources, and giving guidance and support. On the other hand, leaders may make it very difficult to gain confidence, support the company's objectives, encourage alignment, and create a cooperative atmosphere. Thus, this paper attempts to explore the connection between leadership role and organizational effectiveness. A literature review analysis was conducted to identify the role of leader toward organizational success. As part of a small scale of study, a questionnaire was distributed to employees who are working with oil and gas service companies in the energy sector of Saudi Arabia in order to gather the supportive data. The statistical study, which was conducted showed that leaders generally play significant role in organizational effectiveness. Overall, the effect of leadership style on organization effectiveness was discovered to be high. To increase organizational effectiveness, clear strategic goals must be established and communicated across all levels of the organization. Additionally, aligning people, processes, and resources with these goals through strong leadership, efficient systems, and continuous performance evaluation is essential toward organizational effectiveness.
