The main objective of this study is to investigate the impact of Transformational Leadership style
and Paternalistic Leadership Style on employees’ satisfaction, commitment and trust level in
Higher Education Institutes. Another objective is to compare public and private institutions on
the same model/variables. To test the hypothesis, data was collected from different universities
of Lahore. Results of the data show that both transformational and paternalistic leadership style
has an impact on trust, satisfaction and commitment. However, if we compare paternalistic with
transformational leadership style results show that paternalistic leadership style has more impact
than transformational leadership style on employees’ satisfaction, commitment and trust.
Moreover, leadership style in public and private sector, trust has more weightage than
satisfaction and commitment.
