Abstract:
The research objective was to evaluate the effectiveness of leadership and work
motivation and identify the fundamental challenges encountered in leadership within
public organizations. To achieve this, a comprehensive investigation was conducted
involving the distribution of surveys to managers and administrative specialists
employed in public sector entities. The study's sample comprised 132 workers,
enhancing the findings' generalizability across similar contexts. The research
highlighted the importance of employee motivation within public organizations as a
key factor in achieving effective organizational performance. Various elements,
including incentives, social interactions, and the office environment, significantly
influence corporate professionalism. The chosen leadership approach was contingent
upon several factors, including organizational culture, employment engagement, and
the internal knowledge base of the organization. The study results delivered practical
implications for top management structures, emphasizing the necessity of
distinguishing between personal and work-related challenges workers face. This
research also provided a novel insight into leadership and work motivation styles,
contributing to a deeper understanding of societal dynamics and organizational
development. Specifically, it enriched the discourse surrounding managerial
behaviors that promote relational, critical, and constructionist perspectives on
managerial effectiveness and organizational progress. However, it is important to
acknowledge that the investigation has limitations, notably its small sample size and
focus on a small region, Eritrea.
