| Abstract | Leadership becomes one of the most important topics among behavioral scientists and management researchers. The current research study tries to investigate the relationship between transactional, transformational styles of leadership in paying the way for Quality Management (QM) Practices in Khyber Pakhtoon Khwa SME’s sector. For this purpose, data were collected from the manufacturing sector through an adapted version of questionnaires. In the first stage, CFA was conducted to remove items having lower loading. In the next stage through SEM analysis was performed. Results indicate that During CFA analysis most of the components of the adopted construct were removed due to a poor fit model. As a result, the original concept of the adopted construct was renamed based on retained factors. During SEM analysis the hypothetical relationship was partially supported, and results indicate that for the smooth functioning of the manufacturing sector of SME’s it is strongly recommended to adopt the modern techniques of QM practices that must be alien with international standards. However, in Pakistan's cultural set up its results are quite different. And it’s an open new way of research in the theory of Leadership. |
