Publication Restricted Differential Leadership Styles Implications on Employee Performance and Organizational Growth in Small Enterprises in Berlin(2025) Duwederi, Dalia; Ülker, Baris; International Management and Marketing (BA); Berlin International University of Applied SciencesThe current research was aimed at interpreting and evaluating the comparative effects of servant, transformational, as well as transactional leadership styles on employee performance and organizational growth within small enterprises in Berlin. For this reason, the methodology was centralized on the use of a quantitative strategy with a survey instrument comprised of 42 respondents utilizing the Servant Leadership Survey (SLS) along with the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ). The findings indicated that transformational leadership turned out to be the most favored approach to leadership, subsequent to transactional one, whilst servant leadership received significant appreciation owing to the conceptual frameworks of authorization and accountability. In addition, the employee performance indicators demonstrated positively reported assessments metrics across all the measured dimensions with work quality receiving the highest ratings whilst organizational growth reflected stability with plausible improvements in innovation. Comparably, the qualitative analysis found a critical disconnect between technological advancement and leadership capacity in Berlin's technology sector since it was inferred that Berlin SMEs excel at technical implementation but are disrupted with major workforce challenges mainly that of talent acquisition and retention as well as with remote work coordination. Accordingly, it was concluded that whilst each leadership style provided Berlin SME employees with diversified and unique advantages, yet a strategized integrative leadership approach utilizing both the transformational vision, servant leadership's personalized support, and transactional structure is recommended as imperative for an efficient and sustained success in Berlin's progressively volatile and versatile SME landscape.
