Book excerpt: Public sector organizations have slowly recognized leadership styles that positively influence employee motivation. Leadership qualities have been closely reviewed and implemented in the public sector as they positively engage employees in guiding, leading, incorporating, and motivating them to become more innovative. Researchers have found that transformational leadership calls attention to actions that organizational leaders can take to direct and inspire employee effort by raising awareness of the importance of organizational values and outcomes (Pandey, Wright & Moynihan, 2012). Employees rely heavily on their manager to actively practice leadership skills, encourage innovation, and ultimately increase employee motivation. This study aims to examine the influence of management style on employee motivation in the public sector, especially in a time where public demand continues to be on the rise. This research study focuses primarily on surveying all Department of Developmental Services (DDS) employees to assess employee motivation and reveal if they are practicing transformational leadership as a public service organization.
