Phong cách lãnh đạo là những hành vi đặc trưng mà người lãnh đạo lựa chọn để tác động đến  
nhân viên của mình, là cách thức mà người lãnh đạo đưa ra những chỉ dẫn cho cấp dưới, tạo động  
lực thúc đẩy họ hoàn thành những mục tiêu đã đề ra. Lãnh đạo nói chung và các phong cách lãnh  
đạo nói riêng có thể ảnh hưởng lớn đến lòng trung thành, sự tin tưởng, sự hài lòng và cam kết của  
người lao động đối với doanh nghiệp, từ đó ảnh hưởng đến sự phát triển bền vững của doanh  
nghiệp. Tuy nhiên, để lựa chọn phong cách lãnh đạo phù hợp, các nhà quản lý buộc phải xem xét  
một loạt các yếu tố. Để điều tra nhận thức của các nhà quản lý doanh nghiệp vừa và nhỏ (DNVVN)  
về các yếu tố ảnh hưởng đến việc lựa chọn phong cách lãnh đạo phù hợp, 51 nhà quản lý DNVVN  
đến từ các lĩnh vực kinh doanh khác nhau đã đồng ý tham gia các cuộc phỏng vấn cá nhân. Dựa trên  
điều tra như vậy, các hàm ý về việc lựa chọn thích hợp các phong cách lãnh đạo khác nhau trong  
việc xem xét các yếu tố ảnh hưởng được đưa ra. Bài báo được kỳ vọng sẽ hữu ích cho các nhà quản  
lý DNVVN, các cơ sở đào tạo / tư vấn trong việc hỗ trợ các nhà quản lý DNVVN Việt Nam nâng  
cao hiệu quả lãnh đạo và hoạt động của doanh nghiệp. Bài báo cũng đóng góp vào phát triển lý  
thuyết về lãnh đạo ở các nước đang phát triển như Việt Nam.

INVESTIGATING FACTORS INFLUENCING THE SELECTION OF LEADERSHIP  
STYLES IN SMES AN EMPIRICAL STUDY IN VIETNAM  
ABSTRACT  
Leadership styles are a type of behavior that a leader chooses to impact on his employees, the  
way that the leader provides instructions to subordinates, creates motivations for them to fulfill the  
set-forth goals. Leadership in general and the effective use of leadership styles in particular can  
greatly affect the loyalty, trusts, satisfaction and commitments of employees to enterprises, thereby  
influencing the sustainable development of enterprises. However, to choose the right leadership  
style, managers are required to considered a range of factors. To investigate the perceptions of SME  
managers with regard to influential factors to the selection of appropriate leadership styles, 51 small  
and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) managers coming from various business fields agreed to join  
individual interviews. Based on such investigation, implications on the proper selection of various  
leaderships in the consideration of influential factors are provided. The paper is expected to be  
useful for SME managers, training/consulting institutions in assisting Vietnamese SME managers to  
improve leadership efficiency and enterprise performance. The paper also makes contribution to the  
body of knowledge with regard to leadership in developing countries such as Vietnam.  
Key words: Leadership, leadership styles, influential factors, Vietnamese SMEs.

1. INTRODUCTION  
Leadership style has strong impact to the sustainable development of SMEs. Because of the  
origin, the nature and the size of the SMEs, leaders in SMEs often capture, overshadow and oversee  
almost every aspect of business. However, in many SMEs, the poor management skills and  
professions of leaders negatively affect the survival and development of SMEs. Because of this,  
SMEs need to have a leader with the most suitable leadership style for the growth of enterprises,  
particularly for the performance and attitudes to work of employees.  
In organizations, the concept of sustainability has now been viewed as a strategy for long-  
term business survival and success (Mccann, 2010). Approaching and gaining sustainability allow  
enterprises to achieve a competitive advantage and continual performance improvement (Slankis  
2006). Apart from the general norm of sustainability, the term of sustainable leadership style has  
also received the attention of scholars and practitioners. Accordingly, leaders are required to  
become innovation managers whose substantial leadership competences assist them to lead the  
organization towards long-term survival and development. By doing so, he or she may create a  
sustainable innovation and/or a sustainable leadership style. Studies reflected that to create  
sustainable innovation process, and then, a sustainable organization, the leaders need to consider to  
select the proper one which help them to become charismatic, instrumental, strategic or interactive  
leaders (Bossink 2007).  
Selecting the leadership style suited to the characteristics of business, employers and  
employees for the sustainable development of organization is essential. However, how to choose the  
right one - among three main leadership styles, namely autocratic style, democratic style and  
laissez-fair style - is the question. In this paper, the answer for this question is examined through the  
discussion of SME managers with regard to the factors affecting the selection of appropriate  
leadership styles.  
2. LITERATURE REVIEW  
2.1. Leadership Styles and the Significance of Leadership Styles  
A strong development period of research on leadership styles with various definitions and  
approaches has been witnessed in the last decade of the 20th century. According to Mayowa (2009),  
leadership styles can be understood as a pattern of behavior that a leader selects to impact on the  
behavior of employees. This is the way a leader encourages and instructs his subordinates to  
accomplish the goals that have been set before. Murray Johannsen (2017) added that leadership  
styles are a collection of behavior that a leader actively chooses to utilize in each specific  
circumstance. When the circumstances change, leadership styles change accordingly.  
When it comes to the significance of leadership styles, Fang, Chang and Chen (2009) emphasizes  
that leadership styles have remarkable impacts on satisfaction, trust and loyalty of employees with  
enterprises and on the entire operational performance of enterprises as well. Leadership styles are  
closely linked to work performance of each employee in general, and to the creativity at work in  
particular (Olawale 2013). DuBrin (2001) believes that personal features stemming from the  
characteristics of leaders can be reflected in their leadership styles. All in all, as being considered as the  
choice of leaders for their behavior and models of managing business, leadership styles play a decisive  
role in operational patterns and business performance of enterprises.  
60  
2.2. Selecting the Right Leadership Styles  
In the research of Kurt Lewin et al. (1939), which considered as the pioneer study on  
leadership styles, based on the decision-making, leadership styles are classified into 3 main  
types of autocratic style, democratic and laissez-fair style. Accordingly, in the autocratic  
leadership style, leaders hold absolute decision-making power while employees are hardly  
involved in the decision-making process. Leaders mostly assign work and instruct their  
subordinates on how to do the work without listening to their opinions or feedback. In the  
democratic leadership style, a board of leaders made up one or more employees are allowed to  
participate in the decision-making, thereby being able to contribute their opinions to the  
enterprise‟s business affairs but it is the leader who makes the final decision. In the leadership  
style called laissez-faire style, the leader‟s involvement in the decision-making process is  
minimal. Although the leader is still the person who takes responsibility for the outcome, his  
job is just to encourage employees to make their own decisions.  
Choosing a leadership style that fits the specific business environment, working conditions,  
development phases of the company and personalities of leaders and followers can help the  
company improve its performance. But the important question is what the right choice is. There  
seems to be no definite answer. Autocratic leadership has been subject to declining popularity in  
recent years when employees‟ awareness has become better and the job market grows more  
competitive to not only employees but employers as well. But even laissez-faire - the style that is  
believed to raise loyalty and commitments of subordinates - cannot bring the expected efficiency  
to businesses.  
In a study on leadership style efficiency, Koech & Namusonge (2012) concluded that laissez-  
faire is the leadership style that brings the lowest capacity. The researchers suggested that leaders  
should not apply this style but get more involved in supervising, guiding and becoming a good  
example for subordinates to follow, they should constantly be present to encourage, inspire and  
invoke followers‟ initiatives and creativity, to care for employees individually so that leaders can  
call for their positive contributions to the common goals of the organization.  
For his part, Eba (2016) believed that there is no optimal leadership style, even the popular  
democratic way, and the selection of an appropriate leadership style totally depends on specific  
circumstances. A suitable leadership style is the one which enables leaders to reach the goals,  
receive the supports and enhance the solidarity in the company while take personal care of  
individuals and drive them towards higher organization‟s business performance.  
According to Robbins (2013), today leaders tend to manage their companies by empowering  
their employees. Empowering means increasing decision-making power of employees. Employees  
can make decisions concerning their daily work; for instance, they develop budget plans, arrange  
workload, control inventories, control quality and participate in many aspects which used to be  
considered as tasks of managers.  
A famous example is when the Comprehensive System Service Group in Columbus, Georgia  
decided to let their employees take part in the process of designing their new office complex. The  
importance of employees to the company is shown on each brick used to build the road along  
Chattahoochee river - each brick there has the name of one employee in the company.  
61  
More and more companies choose to empower their employees. One reason is the need to make  
quick decisions by members who have the best knowledge and understanding of the specific work at  
basic levels. If companies wish to compete successfully in a dynamic global business environment,  
they should be able to make immediate decisions and cope up with changes rapidly. Another reason is  
the downsizing of organizational scale of companies in the past 2 decades, this has given leaders  
larger dimension of management. To cope up with increasing workload, leaders have to empower  
employees.  lthough empowerment is not a „cure-all remedy‟, it is clear that when employees have  
knowledge, skills and experience, they will become more active and accountable, and when they seek  
autonomy and internal control, empowerment can bring enormous benefits.  
3. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY  
3.1. Research Objective  
Based on the literature with regard to leadership styles, this study aims to examine the factors  
affecting the leadership style selection in Vietnamese SMEs, from the viewpoints of SME  
managers. Therefore, the perceptions of Vietnamese SME managers with regard to influential  
factors of leadership styles choice were explored. Based on such investigation, the implications  
related to the proper application of leadership styles in accordance to influential factors are  
provided. Research outputs are expected to be beneficial to SME managers, consulting and training  
institutions in the selection of suitable leadership styles with the aim of improving the management  
performance for the sustainable development of Vietnamese SMEs.  
The following main research question has been investigated and guides this study:  
What are the perception of Vietnamese SME managers with regard to factors affecting the  
selection of appropriate leadership styles in Vietnamese SMEs?  
3.2. Data Collection  
In studies where the perceptions of participants are investigated, the qualitative interview  
technique is generally used (Saunders, Lewis and Thornhill, 2012). In this study, to study the  
factors affecting the selection of appropriate leadership styles in Vietnamese SMEs, semi-structured  
interviews assist the researcher in gaining a deeper understanding on such factors when SME  
managers are asked to explain, or add comments based on their answers. Besides, the research has  
opportunities to develop qualitative data in both breadth and depth due to numerous experience  
shared by SME managers during their interviews (Bryman & Bell 2011; Saunders, Lewis and  
Thornhill 2009).  
Individual interviews with the participation of 51 SME managers, including 40 male  
managers (accounting for 78.43%) and 11 female managers (accounting for 18.5%) were  
conducted. These managers operate in various business fields such as construction, vocational  
education, nutritional food, estate business. Interviews were recorded by electronic recorders and  
last for approximately 45 to 60 minutes. Interviews were carried out at offices of SME managers,  
which are considered convenient to interviewees.  
The interview protocol was used in almost interviews to seek the opinions of different  
participants on common issues. In such protocol, a list of questions was developed to investigate  
perceptions of SME managers with regard to the application of the democratic leadership style.  
62  
3.3. Data Analysis  
To systemize the data in this study, the step-by-step qualitative data analysis procedure  
suggested by Creswell (2014) was used. In such process, the researcher was required to organize the  
data, conduct a preliminary read-through of the databases, code and organize themes, and organize  
the data in a format for interpretation.  
The qualitative QSR support software Nvivo was used in the process of data analysis. The  
main themes and sub-themes are used as the “code” of Nvivo. The research results are presented in  
a descriptive manner, based on the main topics, sub-topics, examples, multi-dimensional views  
from the interviewees. Descriptive topics are mainly based on the content analyzed from the  
interviews. In addition, examples and comments by members are also cited directly to help the  
readers get the "feel" contained in the responses as well as the "lively" in actual business situations,  
adding to the persuasiveness of qualitative research.  
4. RESEARCH RESULTS  
When selecting the right leadership styles, many factors needs to be taken into account such  
as the development phases of enterprises, the personalities of employees, the experiences of the  
leaders. The following section reveals the perceptions of Vietnamese SME managers towards such  
important factors.  
Enterprise Characteristics  
When referring to the influence of business characteristics on leadership style selection of  
managers, many Vietnamese SME managers interviewed in this study emphasized the factor of  
business areas in which SMEs operates. Accordingly, one SME managers stressed “the leader will  
choose the style suitable for his career, and also the characteristics of the work” (M_01). One  
manager offered an example: "If a private company specializes in creating and providing ideas and  
solutions, the leaders should be creative, using laissez-faire style rather than the two other styles.  
Conversely, if the business sector is not closely related to creativity, does not require new ideas, the  
laissez-faire or democratic styles are not strongly required” (M_18). Another SME manager took  
the same view by saying “the more creativity that the companies need, the more comfort they have  
to create for employees, contrary to the business areas requiring certainty, where the process needs  
a more rigid style used to ensure the achievements of results” (M_42).  
Besides the business sector, from the view of Vietnamese SME managers in this study, the  
size of enterprises also affects the selection of leadership styles of the leaders. In general, in a small  
company where the number of employees is small, the manager may utilize the democratic  
leadership style to manage as well as to direct their subordinates. However, when the firm-size  
increases, the managers find hard to cover and control everything happened in the company. At that  
time, the autocratic leadership style may help the managers, especially the top-level managers, to  
empower and focus on the key activities in the company. In other words, the managers may use  
democratic style in few cases, and utilize autocratic or laissez-faire in other circumstances. One  
manager emphasized: “The bigger the firm-size is, the more flexible the leadership style is, due to  
the growth in the number of departments” (M_42).  
In addition, Vietnamese SME managers in this research also indicated that the leadership  
styles may also be influenced by other factors related to the specific characteristics of the enterprise,  
63  
such as the level of job pressure, the conflicts that may arise in the enterprise, the complexity of  
tasks, or financial and technological capabilities of enterprises.  
Development Phases of Enterprises  
In this study, the SME managers also emphasized the impacts of the business development  
phases on the selection of suitable leadership styles. Accordingly, one SME manager gave a detailed  
explanation “the development journey of the company is divided into various stages, including the  
stage of formation, the stage of stability, and the stage of development. After the stages of formation  
and stability, as the size of the business is expanded, the leaders should create an atmosphere of self-  
reliance, reduce tension and create cohesion among members, especially among the leaders in the  
enterprise. In other words, when self-control and self-empowerment from company members elevate,  
the styles of democracy and freedom can be a reasonable choice” (M_02).  
Characteristics, Capabilities, Personalities of Employees in Enterprises  
According to the perceptions the Vietnamese SME managers in this study, the selection of  
leadership styles is also determined by the staff capacity. Employee characteristics such as working  
experience, job competency, job responsibilities, conceptual skills, and also their abilities in  
developing network and co-operating with other staff and managers are also factors the leaders  
consider when selecting the appropriate leadership styles. One SME manager stressed “choosing  
the proper leadership style belongs to whether our employees are experienced, responsible persons  
or the new ones who need a lot of guidance and directions” (M_38). Another SME manager added  
“When choosing the right leadership styles, we should consider the relationship among employees  
to see if they are united or have conflicts. In the solidarity working environment, the leader may let  
employees to work well with each other, change working activities into routines, and thus, the  
leader doesn‟t need to provide too much of guidance or interference” (M_19).  
According to many Vietnamese SME managers in this study, the autocratic leadership style is  
often applied to new employees. At that time, the leader becomes a competent and enthusiastic  
instructor, and new employees are motivated to learn more skills and develop themselves. On the  
other hand, democratic leadership style is often applied to a team whose members are skilled staff.  
Employees know their jobs and are aware of themselves as part of the team. Laissez-faire style is  
often used in cases where the leader owns better qualified employees. The leader cannot cover  
everything and employees should have full rights and responsibilities to make decisions for their  
tasks. This may also allow the leader to focus on improving their management productivity.  
Personalities, Experiences, Characteristics of Leaders  
As shared by many SME managers in this study, the selection of leadership styles is  
influenced by the factors related to the leader. First and foremost, it is the characteristics of the  
leader, as a SME manager distinguished: "Gentle and calm managers will have a different  
leadership style from those who are hot-tempered" (M_24).  
From the view of a number of SME managers in this research, the personalities of the leader will  
be a factor affecting their orientations towards a suitable leadership style. One SME manager analyzed  
“Normally, the leader who is confident, decisive, determined, and highly responsible is prone to choose  
the autocratic leadership style. This kind of leaders is often difficult and patriarchal. By contrast, the  
leader who is willing to listen to employees‟ opinion, respect and want to promote creativity of  
64  
employees tends towards democracy” (M_46). Another SME manager added “The leader who prefers  
freedom and comfort tends to select laissez-faire style. However, the leadership style may be adjusted in  
the process the leader makes efforts to seek a suitable leadership style” (M_18).  
Furthermore, the abilities of the leader, his understanding of the job he manages, as well as his  
management experience, training and working history were also perceived to affect the selection of  
leadership styles. One SME manager stressed “The leader‟s management capacity influences the  
way he sets goals, develops strategies, selects the right leadership style to construct his personal  
prestige” (M_46)  
Especially, as shared by some SME managers in this study, the lessons learned, especially  
management failures will make the leader aware of the need to change the management methods,  
thereby selecting a leadership styles appropriate to himself, his employees and also his organization  
to ensure management efficiency. For example, the autocratic style used had made the working  
environment stressful, resulting in working performance reduction, then the leader would adjust his  
managerial behaviors.  
In addition, other factors related to the leaders themselves are claimed to affect the leadership  
styles perceived by Vietnamese SME managers, such as the Emotional Quotient (EQ) (in particular  
the abilities to identify, understand and successfully manage the emotions of the leaders and  
subordinates - this is the foundation for the development of other skills); the listening and sharing  
skills, the abilities to manage both people and work, the leadership motivations and experience; and  
also the network of the leaders.  
Following is the table summarizing perceptions of Vietnamese with regard to factors  
influencing the selection of leadership styles in SMEs.

5. IMPLICATIONS  
As can be seen from the research findings, the appropriate selection of leadership style should  
match with various factors related to business development phases, business activities, job features,  
leader characteristics and employee qualities.  
When it comes to the factor of business development phase, in the start-up phase, the  
autocratic can be used. In the stable phase and growth phase, the democratic and laissez-faire  
should be respectively used. Regarding the business activity, when the SME has the only one leader  
and operates in manufacturing sector, the autocratic style seems to be suitable. For SMEs operating  
in stable sectors and sectors which require innovation and creativity, the democratic and laissez-  
faire should be considered.  
In terms of job features, when the leader has no time and needs to make urgent decision, for  
job which requires accuracy and promptness, at the beginning of working process, when re-  
establishing business activities and putting pressure on employees, the autocratic leadership style  
should be used. Meanwhile, for jobs involving collecting data and information, when establishing  
business tactics or working process, when making important decisions to the benefit of many  
people or when managerial problems arise in the enterprise, SME leader should utilize democratic  
style. For work which could connect between responsibilities and benefits, work which is hard to  
manage process, for remote management and when the leader can control the risks, the laissez-  
faire could be used.  
Regarding the employee qualities, when working with new employees, those who lack skills  
and unqualified and who are stubborn, leaders should use autocratic leadership style. However,  
employees with high responsibilities and concentration at work, the democratic seems to be  
appropriate. Meanwhile, the laissez-faire style can be considered when working with employees  
with high working capacity and good creativity and those with high responsibility, concentration at  
work and want to be listened to.  
Finally, as far as leader characteristics are concerned, leaders who have the capacity and  
knowledge of the work, senior leaders who are the one comprehensively know about their task, and  
leaders who are decisive may be suitable to the autocratic leadership style. New leaders and leaders  
seeking consensus and higher effectiveness when implementing work tend to use democratic  
leadership style. For leaders who can allocate and assign work effectively, who do not have  
experience and expertise knowledge and who are the co-founders of the enterprise, they may think  
of using laissez-faire leaders style.  
Finally, regarding the employee qualities, when working with new employees, those who lack  
skills and unqualified and who are stubborn, leaders should use autocratic leadership style.  
However, employees with high responsibilities and concentration at work, the democratic seems to  
be appropriate. Meanwhile, the laissez-faire style can be considered when working with employees  
with high working capacity and good creativity and those with high responsibility, concentration at  
work and want to be listened to.  
As can be seen from the paper, the context of Vietnam and also the size of enterprises in  
which managers in this study operate somewhat affect the selection of leadership style.  
Accordingly, in Vietnamese culture, the power distance (one dimension in the model of Hofstede  
66  
(1987) is often great. The role of the leader, particularly his or her characteristics such as  
personalities, management abilities have significant influence on the leadership style he or she  
chooses, and then to the individual and organizational performance. Furthermore, in SMEs, the  
relationship between the leaders and followers is normally personal and direct. Therefore, the  
employees‟ features as well as their connection with other staff and managers should also be taken  
into account when selecting proper leadership style.  
As implied above, the selection of leadership style should be put in the consideration of  
factors such as business development phases, business activity, job features, leader characteristics,  
and employee qualities. However, in many cases, using only one leadership style is not likely to  
bring the best effect for the business. Each leadership style can only be suitable for each stage of the  
company's development, or each leadership style works only with some departments in the  
company. Besides, it is not compulsory to use the same leadership style for the whole company.  
The autocratic style can be used for one department while the democratic style should be used for  
other departments in the same company.  
6. CONCLUSION  
The paper has provided the discussion on the factors influencing the selection of leadership  
style in Vietnamese SMEs. The literature on the significance of leadership styles and the right  
selection of leadership styles was firstly reviewed. The analysis on the qualitative data with 51 SME  
managers was then provided, which is the foundation for the implications on the proper choice of  
leadership styles in accordance with influential factors in SMEs. The paper has both practical  
contribution in enhancing the management effectiveness of enterprises and theoretical contribution  
in examining the selection of leadership style in developing countries such as Vietnam.
