It encompasses the effective understanding of the organizational values and aligns the operation within the organization to achieve the organizational target within the perspective of the prescribed values. Organizational leadership has a significant impact in motivating the employees allowing problem-solving and decision-making mindset within the organization making the organization a psychologically safe atmosphere and effective promotion of ethics, inclusion, and respect within the organizational workplace. The vital aspect of organizational leadership is to cater to the possible challenges the organization has to face in the future. According to Choi, Kim and Kang (2017), effective leadership in an organization is essential for the development of the decisive element of the company's management that is the team. Thus, the fundamental aspect of organizational growth depends upon the capabilities of the leader (Smith, Minor & Brashen, 2018). The context of multiple leadership models acquires a practical note in this scenario. Multiple company employees can handle the shared administration and the informational administration as a part of the same team. The organization needs to manage the diverse workforce which is a prominent outcome of globalization that organizations are now bringing with employees belonging to different cultures and leadership-based interventions are necessary in order to meet the expectations for maximum productivity. The performance of the employees, job satisfaction, and their affective commitment in the workplace depends on employee management in an organization (Al Khajeh, 2018). And it is evident to mention that capability of employee management is an important aspect of various leadership styles. 2.2 Effective Leadership Qualities According to Roux and Hartel (2018) leadership has become an important aspect in the present context where the business environment becoming increasingly complex, dynamic, and advancing in terms of technology. The article reflects the techniques and the qualities that must be adopted for the development of effective leadership. The essential and meaningful qualities of leadership that are emphasized in this article are resilience, openness, adaptability, collaboration, and meaningful networks. In respect of our research topic, it can effectively focus on the aspect that employees' performances are greatly affected by leadership qualities and behavior. It can be contemplated with the fact that employees are not satisfied with their leaders and are not motivated if the leaders do not possess effective leadership skills and qualities (Scott et al., 2018). 2.3 Leadership and Employee’s Commitment Researches effectively present the challenges that are faced by the various organizations in managing the staff for creating an effective environment that encourages the employee’s commitment. The study suggested the importance of informational leadership qualities that affects the commitment of the employees in an organization(Ausar, Kang & Kim, 2016). Lack of informational leadership qualities negatively affects the psychological empowerment of the employees in an organization. On a similar note, the study also mentions the significant positive correlation between secretion leadership and the commitment of the employees. Leadership styles play an important role in promoting organizational commitment by the employees. It is evident fact to note that studying staff empowerment through a commitment to the organization can lead to overall organizational growth (Nwokocha & Iheriohanma, 2015). This reflects the psychological charge of the employees which plays a crucial role in their duties through effective decision making about their work in the organization. Human resources are the most important asset of the organization. And it is worth mentioning that human resource is the most diversified asset which depends on their qualities. According to Gathunga, Iravo and Namisonge (2015) employee’s commitment to an organization is closely related to the information on leadership which helps to emphasize the values of the organization and aligns the employee’s commitment with that of the organizational values. Effective leadership qualities can influence the culture of the organization which in turn mobilizes the commitment of the employees in their work. It is evident that leaders help the employees to make their way towards the attainment of achieving the goal through effective simulation and inspiration. 2.4 Impacts of Leadership on Employee Performance and Employee Well-being Employee performance is one of the important aspects that sustain economic and organizational sustainability. Since human resource is an important asset of the organization; it plays a key role in the smooth running of the organization and achieves its goals. In this ever-transforming and competitive global market, human resources can be the competitive advantage of the organization if it is effectively managed. It is evident from earlier literature that leadership styles have a significant influence on the employees (Park et al., 2018). The significance of leadership has a direct and cumulative impact on economic development. Besides
