To do this data was collected from 206 nurses working in different hospitals of Pakistan was collected. Descriptive and inferential statistical treatment was given to analyze the data. The results of the study revealed that both the leadership styles (i.e. transactional and transformational) positively and significantly correlated with work performance, organizational commitment, and job satisfaction. On the other hand, regression analysis confirms that transformational leadership study has a greater impact on job satisfaction and organizational commitment as compared to transactional style while the transactional leadership style has a greater influence on work performance.
