Rast, Hogg and Giessner (2013) suggest that the autocratic leadership styles are stronger to supervise the employee, encourage employee through the penalty or threat to achieve their goals. It will ignore the job satisfaction of their employee.

Participative leadership styles can efficiently enhance the atmosphere, job satisfactions and development of the team since the followers can participate the decisions. However, Participative leadership styles are difficult to make decisions in the short-term as it needs to consider many opinions (Huang, Iun, Liu & Goung, 2010).

Transactional leadership styles can obtain more influence and power from followers.
