Abstract

The study presents a paradigm shift to exploring the interaction of the entrepreneurial leadership skills and employee interaction in enhancing employee performance and enhanced business productivity. In doing this the study analysed the mediating role of motivation on the relationship between leader member exchange (LMX) and job satisfaction at team level. Additionally, the differences of LMX, motivation and job satisfaction according to demographic variables are also investigated. The major aim is to highlight the relationship between leadership and motivation and what might lead to job dissatisfaction and demotivation as indicated from earlier studies, motivation and LMX can be two of the most fundamental determinants for understanding this issue. The study shows that there is a strong relationship between motivation LMX and job satisfaction, hence appropriate interventions is needed to address this influence. One way of doing this is through the re-addressing of motivation of employees.
