This study examined the effect of leadership styles on employees’ performance in the Federal Medical Centre, Idi-Aba, Abeokuta, Ogun State, Nigeria. It specifically examined the effect of leadership styles - transformational, transactional and democratic dimensions of leadership styles on employees’ performance. A survey research design was used, with one thousand seven hundred and twenty-seven (1,727) medical staff from twenty-nine (29) departments making up the study's population. A sample size of three hundred and fourteen (314) was estimated and selected via a convenient sampling technique. The information was gathered from the respondents using a structured questionnaire. The data was analysed using descriptive statistics and covariance base structural equation modelling (CB-SEM). The findings showed that transformational, transactional, and democratic leadership styles all had a significant impact on employee performance, according to the findings.
