Abstract
The present study proposes to investigate the impact of transactional leadership style (TLS) and entrepreneur's passion (ETP) for employee performance (EP) and mediating role of passion between TLS and EP in Pakistan. The study is a quantitative approach and based on cross-sectional data. In total, 356 cases are applied for the final analysis. The results demonstrated a positive and significant effect of TLS and ETP on EP. Thus, the ETP recognized as a mediator between the TLS and the EP. The study's findings would offer significant contributions and implications for executives, entrepreneurs, and managers. The leadership style perception of the employees has a considerable contribution to generating a higher level of job performance. Hence, the study would provide the smoothness in enhancing EP with leadership behaviours' development. However, the mediation investigation of ETP between TLS and EP among the employees of Pakistan would give further guidelines for the policymakers of developing nation to observe the role of ETP.
