The purpose of the study was to investigate the differential effects of leadership style on organizational commitment and job satisfaction in Korean army. Specifically, this study empirically tested the differential effects of transformational leadership, transactional leadership, and servant leadership which has been studied widely. Most studies on leadership in Korean army has concentrated on investigating the effect of specific leadership style, while neglected to find out the differential effects of those leadership styles. We know a leadership style is not suitable for every situation. That is why we tried to find the differential effects of leadership styles on the study. Our empirical data showed that the effects of transformational, transactional, and servant leadership was different among the types of unit. More specifically, transactional leadership was the most effective style in combat forces while Servant leadership was the most in combat service support unit. We found mixed result in combat support troops. Transactional leadership was more effective on organizational commitment, however transformational leadership was more effective on job satisfaction in combat support unit. Theoretical and practical implications, limitations and future research directions were discussed based on the empirical results.
