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.enMS ThesisManagementThesis
