Abstract

High level of unhealthy workplace conflict and poor organizational performance are often caused by poor leadership behavior. This study evaluates how leaders' actions affect organizational performance and conflict dynamics in the workplace. The study uses a quantitative approach and collected primary data from 315 respondents who were chosen using a basic random sampling procedure and structured questionnaires. The primary data gathered for the study was analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). The study demonstrated that organizational performance and workplace conflict dynamics are impacted by the behaviors of leaders. This is supported by 89.2 percent of respondents. According to the report, leadership and conflict resolution training in government-approved institutions should be required before someone can be appointed or elected to a leadership post.
