This empirical study aims to investigate the influence of leadership styles (transformational and transactional) on frontline employees’ (FLEs) perceived ethical climate, polychronicity, and service recovery performance in a service work setting in Malaysia. A total number of 249 questionnaires were gathered from a sample of full-time frontline hotel employees. The hypothesized relationships were tested using PLS-SEM Path analysis. Results based on the path analysis reveal that transactional leadership had more significant positive impact on ethical climate and service recovery performance. On the other hand, transformational leadership had more significant positive effect on FLEs’ polychronicity. As inconsistent with the study hypothesis, transformational leadership had no significant effect on FLEs’ service recovery performance. Theoretically, the current study by examining the untried effects and relationships such as the effect of leadership styles on polychronicity lends further contribution to the hospitality management literature.

Keywords: Keywords: leadership styles, service recovery performance, polychronicity, ethical climate, organizational development.
