INTERROGATING DIFFERENT LEADERSHIP EPOCHS IN THE ADMINISTRATION OF THENATIONAL AGENCY FOR FOOD, DRUGS ADMINISTRATION AND CONTROL, (NAFDAC

Abstract

The study examined the different periods of leadership in the National Agency for Food, Drugs Administration and Control, (NAFDAC). For this purpose, two research questions and hypotheses were created to direct the study. The research was based on the Path-Goal theory which was inspired by
Martin G. Evans's work in 1970. The researchers chose to use descriptive survey research design. The main data came from the structured questionnaire which were shown and analyzed using tables and percentages. The research questions were answered by using statistically weighted mean and the hypotheses were tested using Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient with the help of SPSS. The study found that the use of transformational and transactional leadership at different times is related
to how well employees perform in NAFDAC. According to the findings from the study, it was recommended that organizational leaders should make sure employees' work behaviour is guided by the company's goals and objectives. By communicating well, organizational goals can be turned into employees' goals and leaders should make use of the transactional aspect of employment to benefit both
the organization and its employees.
