Data from 127 subordinates indicates significant and positive association of transformational and transactional leadership with perceived employee performance. In addition, results indicate that transformational leadership has stronger and positive association with perceived employee performance. Regarding the moderating effects of culture orientation, overall data shows significant influence on the relationship of leadership styles and perceived employee performance.
