Book excerpt: This study aims to explore the effects of transformational and transactional leadership styles on employee motivation in a public sector organization, the Department of Public Social Services (DPSS), a service-oriented organization. The study will employ a qualitative research design and use a phenomenology approach. The data collection process will consist of a focus group method. There will be thirteen participants, all front-line employees, ten females, and three males, from one District Office. The sample size is representative of the department's workforce regarding gender and population size. The participants will be current DPSS employees working in the front-line. The researcher will use a series of discussion questions to solicit responses regarding leadership in the workplace. The study's implications could inform administrative leaders on whether to invest in leadership development training for supervisors and mid-level managers to foster employee motivation and organizational performance.
