  • Abstract:
  • This study explores the role of leadership in developing and maintaining a positive organizational culture in the coal mining industry of the Dhanbad region, often called the "Coal Capital of India." Given the high-risk environment, hierarchical structures, and labor-intensive nature of coal mining, leadership plays a critical role in promoting safety, morale, discipline, and ethical work behavior. The research utilizes both quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews from employees and supervisors across public and private sector mines. Findings reveal that participative and transformational leadership styles significantly impact communication, safety culture, employee satisfaction, and performance. Recommendations are offered to strengthen leadership practices in this high-risk, high-responsibility sector.
