Abstract

The aim of this study is to investigate the different leadership styles of the workers and the influence of age and gender on the leadership styles of the workers, in the Chittoor Sugar factory located at Chittoor, a south Indian town. The study concentrated on the three interesting leadership styles that are at the top, bottom and the middle of the leadership authority hierarchy, namely the autocratic, democratic and the laissez-faire leadership styles. The study reveals that the demographic leadership style is the dominant one and age and gender have their own influence on the worker's leadership styles. The study also reveals that with increase in age relatively lesser authority is exhibited by the workers and gender too is found to influence the leadership styles of the workers.
