Keywords:

In this competitive era of globalization, leaders are faced with the demand to have progressive thinking, high intelligence, creativity, innovative ability, and an increased level of sensitivity. All of these are needed so that they can initiate change and innovation within the organization, keeping up with the times that continue to advance. The synergy between leadership and HRM has the ability to achieve organizational success. This study investigates the relationship between leadership style and human resource management (HRM) in organizations. The focus of this study is to understand how leadership styles applied by leaders can influence the implementation of HR management practices and their impact on organizational performance. The research method involved literature analysis, case studies, and historical data collection to provide insights. The research findings show that transformational leadership styles are often associated with progressive HR management practices, creating a work environment that supports innovation, employee development, and the achievement of organizational goals. In contrast, authoritarian leadership styles can create challenges in the implementation of HR management practices.
