Different variables affecting preference of leadership style were cited. Then, it presents the methodology of data collection followed by the findings and discussion of the finding. One hundred sixty nine leaders from the three levels were participated in the study. These participants taken from 31 government budgeted public organizations, which were selected using lottery method, out of 41 total organizations. A standardized questionnaire consisting of 30 items was employed to collect the necessary information to identify the leadership style the participants followed. Descriptive statistics such as frequency and percentage were used. In addition, X2 and standard error of the residual were used to · analyze the result. The result indicated that sex and age are associated with leadership style preference. While female and middle aged leaders preferred democratic leadership style, male and younger leaders preferred autocratic leadership style. On the other hand, education and levels of leaders do not associate with the leaders' preference of leadership style. Finally, recommendation and conclusion were made.
