Effective Contingent Leadership Style in REBCOR Construction – Cabanatuan City: A Case Study

Abstract

This case study investigates the leadership styles employed at REBCOR Construction in Cabanatuan City and their effectiveness in addressing operational and workforce needs. Specifically, it explores how employees perceive these leadership styles, their preferred approaches, and the impact on personal growth, professional development, and workplace performance. Utilizing a structured questionnaire distributed to 21 employees, the study examines leadership effectiveness through the lens of contingency theories and its influence on employee satisfaction and performance. Findings reveal that task-oriented leadership dominates within REBCOR Construction, ensuring operational efficiency. However, a preference for more participative and relation-oriented leadership among employees highlights the need for a balanced approach. The study identifies a positive correlation between leadership styles and employee performance, emphasizing the importance of feedback, recognition, and opportunities for growth. The research concludes that while the current leadership style is effective in achieving organizational goals, incorporating relation-oriented practices would enhance employee satisfaction and professional development. Recommendations include leadership training programs focused on participatory approaches, feedback systems, and initiatives to foster a supportive work environment. These measures aim to create a more adaptive and empowering leadership culture, benefiting both employees and organizational success.
