Abstract
stract
The purpose of this research is to explore barriers inhibiting the
effectiveness of leadership in public sector in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
(KP), Pakistan. A sample of thirty (n=30) employees were selected
from education, health and agriculture departments in KP. In order to
conduct in-depth analysis of the phenomenon, qualitative mood of
inquiry was adopted. Data was collected from top, middle and lower
management through semi-structure interview and it was analyzed
through thematic analysis. It was concluded that public sector
organizations such as agriculture, health and education are confronted
with leadership crisis. There are poor communication skills, lack of
relevant knowledge and expertise, managerial focus and inappropriate
leadership style. The crises of organizational leadership are due to
number of barriers such as lack of training and development,
bureaucratic culture, undue political interference, lack of
accountability and corruption. Due to these barriers, organizational
leadership cannot play its instrumental role in organizational
development, strategic focus and employees’ teamwork and motivation.
