Abstract In the light of the importance of banks to the<br/>economic growth process in Ghana, this study sought to identify<br/>the determinants of effective leadership style that is appreciated<br/>by employees in retail banking firms in Ghana, towards<br/>providing practitioners with crucial information that could<br/>enable them make informed decisions towards improving the<br/>workplace. Using data collected from employees in eleven firms<br/>which were analyzed using the AMOS programme, minimum<br/>was achieved for the leadership measurement model and the<br/>goodness of fit statistics showed that the overall model fit quite<br/>well to the data. Based on the findings from both factor analysis<br/>and Confirmatory factor analysis, the study established that<br/>managers of retail banks in Ghana could be perceived by their<br/>employees as good leaders if they give employees full credit for<br/>the work that they do. Handling employee issues very well and<br/>taking care of their complaints as well as putting in place systems<br/>for enhancing employees' career advancement into specialist<br/>departments or management positions are also perceived as good<br/>determinant of leadership. It is therefore hypothesized that<br/>managers of retail banks in Ghana could be perceived as good<br/>leaders by employees if they are seen as giving employees full<br/>credit for the work that they employees do at the workplace,<br/>handling employee issues very well and taking care of complaints<br/>brought up by employees, as well as putting in place systems for<br/>enhancing employees' career advancement into specialist<br/>departments or management positions are also perceived as good<br/>leaders.
