Abstract: This research seeks to empirically investigate the effect of leadership styles on employee motivation among non-academic staff in the College of Social Management Sciences in Afe Babalola University (ABUAD). Its specific objectives are to determine the relationship between: (i) transformational leadership style and employee motivation and; (ii) transactional leadership style and employee motivation. The study used a cross-sectional descriptive research design and data was collected using a close-ended questionnaire. Census sampling technique was adopted while simple linear regression and Karl Pearson’s correlation methods were used. Findings show that leadership styles have an insignificant effect on employee motivation. It also shows that a strong positive relationship exists between transformational leadership style and employee motivation and a weak positive relationship exists between transactional leadership style and employee motivation. The implication of this is that superiors in the College should adopt more of the transformational leadership style.
