ABSTRACT
The objective of the study was to find out the dominant leadership style in Ghana‟s oil and gas industry. Guided by literature reviewed on traits theory, behavioral theory and contingency theory of leadership, data was collected from two hundred employees using a structured questionnaire. The study used the quantitative research approach. Data collected was analyzed using descriptive statistics and correlation. The study found a significant positive relationship between transformational leadership style and employee commitment. However, although there was a positive relationship between transactional leadership and employee commitment it was not significant. It is also notable that transactional leadership style was found to be the dominant leadership style in Ghana‟s oil and gas industry. It was recommended that management of organizations should adopt the study findings as a guide to developing strategies aimed at achieving excellence in organizational leadership. Future research can look at this important topic across different industries where leadership is of great importance and significance.
