dc.description.abstractThe successful organization has one major attribute that sets it apart from unsuccessful organization, dynamic and effective leadership. The purpose of this study was to identify the leadership styles the organization uses, the major actions the organization takes in order to satisfy employees’ needs, to identify the kind of relationships the employees of SMUC have with their leaders, to identify the major problems which affect leadership practice in SMUC and to determine how leaders try to raise high moral and ethical standards among its employees. The methodologies followed in this study were descriptive survey. The sampling method used was stratified random sampling and after that simple random sampling method was used. In order to get sufficient and relevant information for the study both primary and secondary data were used. Questionnaire and interview guide/protocol were the data collection instruments used in the survey. The questionnaires were distributed to the sample employees and structured interviews were held with the sampled officials of SMUC. The data were uniquely and curiously filtered using statistical methods. The complete questionnaires were treated by descriptive statistics such as frequencies, percentages, and mean as measure of central tendency were methods of data analysis while the interviews were categorized by relevant themes and analyzed accordingly. Some of the conclusions were: subordinates at different levels of the Organization don’t give equal and fair treatment, most of the leaders in SMUC don’t try much to raise high moral and ethical standards among employees, most of the leaders at different levels of the Institute don’t take ideas whenever there is a problem in job, the majority of the respondents disagree with idea of being highly interested in their job. The recommendation given was leaders should try to raise high moral and ethical standards so that all employees can do their job ethically and by moral. The leaders should also try to give fair and equal treatments to all their subordinates, and should try to getting ideas and opinions of their subordinates in that the subordinates see things from different angles so that they might give an idea which help them to solve the problem. The leaders should try to understand their subordinates’ interest because this is very important for the success of the Institution and to maximize their subordinates’ degree of interest. Generally, it is suggested that the leaders in the University College should be a guide for their followers in motivating the employees and in fulfilling their basic needs at different levels.en_US
