To implement the study various dependent, independent and moderating
variables will be defined for theoretical framework. The independent
variable is leadership development and employee performance is a dependent
variable. The reason why these two variables have been chosen is to see the
relationship between them, i.e. if leadership development is implemented
then does it affects the employee performance? To study these two variables
their tools are also identified through which the relationship between the two
would be studied. It is evident from the existing literature that there are
identified variables which influence the employee’s. Therefore leadership
development on employee performance will be measured through coaching,
training and development, empowerment, participation and delegation.
The theoretical framework can be seen from the following schematic
diagram (Figure 1).
