Chapter Four comprised the data analysis and discussion of the findings of the study.
Chapter Five consisted of the summary, conclusions and recommendations drawn from the findings of the study.1.10 ConclusionDespite the pioneering explorations of the present study, several limitations were encountered and should be addressed in future research. One possible limitation was the use of sample from one single company in one particular industry.
However, the value of the current work lies in its theoretical examinations rather than its generalizability. A second limitation was that the data were collected only from employees’ perspective. To provide a more comprehensive understanding of how organizational leadership style and behaviors influence public relations outcomes, insights from public relations professionals and organizational leaders should be incorporated. Third, although the present study contributes to a general understanding of the relationship between leadership, empowerment, and organizational reputation, a triangulated methodological approach would have provided more in-depth explanations about how the relationship works.
