In the study of Business Development Company (2019), it stated that managing

performance improves productivity and profits. Unfortunately, however, many

organizations do not comprehend the process and it is often simply a paper-shuffling
exercise with little significance. To create a win-win situation employee performance
management requires a constant and regular face-to-face dialog that strengthens
interactions between staff and manager and drives the business forward. In managing
employees in an organization we can use different management styles that help better
interaction between manager and employees. The researcher chose to use persuasive and
democratic management style to identify which management has better effect on the
productivity of the employee. Specifically, this study will examine the comparison between
the two management styles; persuasive and democratic management styles that affect the
employee’s productivity level in the workplace. This investigation aims to determine the
significant difference between persuasive and democratic management styles to the level
of productivity of the employees in selected fast food chains in Cebu. The goal of this
comparative analysis is to give a general review of what management style they can used in
operating their company and to let them distinguish between the two management styles
which may aid in their decision-making.
In an international research study conducted by Karim, Rahman & Salleh
(2014), in a new era of modernization, organizations runs in fast pace to attain its goals and
objectives, people are a significant component of running smoothly for an organizations. A
manager plays a vital role in guiding their people to achieve the goals and objectives. They
have certain kinds of capabilities by which this power influences styles of management,
because management style has an impact on the level of employee motivation and job
satisfaction and the motivation of employees is influenced by changing ambitions and
management style with which they work or socialize (Toyosi, Yusuf & Sakiru, 2013). Also in
the study of Mohammad, Tahir, Yousafzai & Jan (2014), using the questionnaire and the
interview to collect relevant data analysed statistically using SPSS correlation analysis, the
findings show that there is a significant relationship between leadership style and
productivity in an organization . This study has observed that organizational management
and management style have affected their organizations ' ability to achieve corporate goals
and objectives. The extent to which these goals of performance and growth are achieved is
determined mostly by the type of management style used in the organization that accounts
for its efficiency and effectiveness. In the study of Stephen (2014), the persuasive style of
management had a beneficial impact on results and to the employee’s productivity. It
meant that managers were very particular about achieving outcomes and only encouraged
staff to do their utmost to boost productivity. The Company of the Year Award (COYA)
winners in Kenya investigated the effects of democratic management style on the
performance of senior managers; the results suggested that applying a democratic
management style has a positive impact on employee performance. The variance analysis
showed that participatory leadership style had a significant impact on the performance of
employees (Lumbasi, K’Aol & Ouma, 2016).
