Abstract:
This study explores the levels of leadership at Maasai Mara University, investigating key dimensions such as leadership styles, effectiveness and the impact on organizational performance. Grounded in leadership theories and supported by empirical data, the research employed a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews with university staff and faculty. Paired sample statistics and correlation analysis were utilized to examine relationships between leadership behaviors and employee satisfaction, revealing a significant positive correlation (r = 0.67, p < 0.01) between transformational leadership and institutional engagement. Findings indicate that while leadership practices align with contemporary leadership models, gaps remain in fostering participative decision-making and strategic vision. The study concludes with policy recommendations to strengthen leadership development programs, enhance communication channels, and promote continuous leadership training to support sustainable institutional growth.
