Abstract
This study analyzes the influence of leadership styles on employee performance in the Secretariat Division of the PUPR-PKP Office of Gorontalo Province. The background of this study is the existence of variations in employee performance and perceptions of leadership styles that have the potential to affect discipline and work productivity. The purpose of this study is to analyze the influence of directive, supportive, participatory, and achievement-oriented leadership styles on employee performance. This study uses the Sequential Explanatory Mixed Methods method. The population and sample of the study were 63 employees with a census technique. Data collection was carried out through observation, documentation, Likert scale questionnaires, and interviews. The instruments were tested through validity and reliability tests, while quantitative data were analyzed using path analysis with the help of SPSS 26. The results showed that directive and achievement-oriented leadership styles had a significant effect on employee performance, while supportive and participatory leadership styles had no significant effect. The coefficient of determination value of 0.33 indicates that 33% of employee performance is explained by leadership style variables, while the rest is influenced by other factors. In conclusion, leadership style simultaneously influences employee performance, but partially only a few dimensions have a significant effect
