  • Abstract:
  • This research explores the intricate interplay between various leadership styles, prosocial behaviours, and passive aggression within organizational settings. Utilizing a correlational design, a total sample of 101 participants (60 males and 41 females) filled the online survey to investigate the associations between leadership approaches and interpersonal dynamics. The study aims to elucidate how different leadership styles influence prosocial behaviours among employees and the extent to which these behaviours correlate with passive aggression. The Leadership Style Questionnaire was used, where 4 styles are measured, namely- Authoritative, Democratic, Facilitative, and Situational. Scales for interpersonal dynamics were, The Prosociality Scale, and The Passive Aggression Scale. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of the complexities surrounding workplace interactions and emphasizes the importance of effective leadership strategies in fostering positive organizational behaviour.
