It is an also providing sustainability of economy and improves financial strength for betterment of country.

The early theories of Burns, (1978) : Bass, (1985: Bass, ( , 1998)); Bennis & Nanus, (1985); Tichy & Devanna, (1986); Avolio & Bass, 1988;Bass & Avolio, (1994) claims that the essential principle of the transformational leadership theory is the leader has the capability to encourage the fan to acquire in excess of what the followers are expected toward accomplish (Krishnan, 2005).

Ahmed, (1996) state there is command and control rules in Pakistan because it is bureaucratic state. Consequently, transactional leadership might be more efficient in this specified culture, and yet, the main purpose of our research is to know the impact real styles of leadership in the banking sector where it leads to growing the job satisfaction and, finally, has resulted in an increase in the performance of the employee.

9. Literature Review

Recent studies declares the Transformational Leaders as kind of "GREAT MAN", this is great quality to being a Transformational Leaders. There are different approaches over the Transformational and Transactional leadership which is categorized into four aspects included Contingency approach, Situational Model, Trait Approach and Behavioral approach. The Leadership was limited within person or the circumstance but with the passage of time, it has revised and creating the role social interaction as well differentiates in broader aspect. The Transactional era thought generate by the recent time when the dominance has increases among the managers and subordinates and the Transactional theory has established recently which most prominent evolutionary development of leadership is era of Transformational.

Bass, (1985) declared that the recent theories considering only two kinds of leadership behavior these are Transactional and Transformational along-with these are very vital and play important role. The managers must play the role of leadership within the organizations. Mostly managers create the mistake by assuming, as they are supervisors and managers along-with they are leaders as well linkage undoubtedly considered but the fact is this their designation indicate the title not exclude leadership.

Peter Northouse, (2001) state that leadership like a shared process whereas an individual impact the overall team members to acquire the mutual objectives; it is indeed to impact must be in positive way towards acquire the goals within the industry and it is very effective leadership. Considering the Leadership quality transactional leadership is access and bolsters to make the leaders of exceptional.

10. a) Transformational Leadership

Bass along-with some authors declared that it very hard to control the employees who are commitment as well dedication for greatness while to lead this perception leaders have to follow the Transaction Qualities.

James McGregor Burns (1978) contends that Leadership for the 1 st time concept was developed in his book Transactional Leadership to engage with team and acquire the common goals, Transformational Leadership is only process that increases the connection and impact the overall members of team along-with enhances the level of morality as well motivation.

Recent study outlined by Northouse, (2001) suggests that by using this method Transformational Leadership it is very important to understand correctly because it is procedure that transforms the individual and finally changes. Along-with Transformational Leadership is the only way to retain people, change the ability and improve the productivity. Identify the values, satisfy them motivates them according to their requirements. If companies use this leadership characteristic then it enhances productivity and it could make the more successful business. (Walton, 1996) found that It was great example of Wall Mart founder who usually visited to Stores and once times he was gone to different outlets around the country and during his visit he met with everyone who are working in Wall Mart and shake hand with them with his courage and appreciation everyone was happy. After that he Sam Walton defined rules for success according to his autobiography; appreciate one of them to the employees with praise.

Furthermore transformational leadership divided into four factors included Intellectual stimulation, Individual Consideration, Idealized influence and Inspirational Motivation which also recognized as the four I's. These factors are very useful and helpful for managers within the organization.

? Intellectual Stimulation: Define that by challenging the group views or normal beliefs the supervisors and managers encourage the creativity and innovation. To create the successful organization and enhances the critical thinking as well problem solving it is necessary to have the intellectual stimulation.

? Inspirational motivation: it defines that supervisors who generally motivates and inspires others to achieve the organizational goals and it increased the revenue within the organization. It associates to commits towards the organization vision. This is process of Transformational leadership and each component is very supportive for an organizations. While managers must play the role model of motivators, coaches, advisors and innovators by exercising the four I's towards support and links in to more productive as well impact the successful employees within the organizations.

Northouse, (2001) explored the Transformation theory around 39 studies those employees who pursuing the Transformational Leadership would be very efficient for the organization and outcome would be produced within the organization this method has been useful for together low as well high level leaders within the private and government organizations So, these approaches applicable for the both sectors.

These Four I's are efficiently useful method for modern world and it supports to manager along-with exercise this method.

The styles of transactional leaders were more concerned with the theories such as situational approach and behavioral approach at which point leaders encouraged and motivated to followers within the way of settled objectives and goals by task requirement and make clear role. While nothing could also be incorrect by this strategy.
