The primary purpose of this study was to determine the Kurt Lewin’s leadership styles of college students and also
to determine whether their leadership styles differ with their demographic characteristics or not. The participants were 384
students sampled from the total student population of Ondokuz Mayıs University in Turkey, based on Cochran’s sample size
determination formula for categorical data collection instruments. Overall, 49.2% of the respondents were democratic leaders
34.9% were autocratic, and 15.9% were laissez-faire style leaders. The Chi-square test, conducted on the variables of
leadership style and demographic characteristics of students, revealed significant effects of gender and parents' place of
residence but was independent of other factors. Female respondents and respondents coming mostly from rural and suburban
areas tended to be more democratic leaders in comparison with male respondents and respondents coming from more densely
populated or metropolitan areas. The study suggests that similar researches should be conducted to determine the influence of
leadership style on the performance of workers employed in different businesses in Turkey.
