Abstract: The definition of leader is any person who influences individuals and groups within an organization, helps them in the establishment of goals, and guides them toward achievement of those goals thereby allowing them to be effective as presented. In order to be effective, leaders have to help maintaining internal health and external adaptability. In conducting research, the writer has chosen the deductive approach, in which the writer develops a hypothesis, studies the related theories, and designs a research strategy to test the hypothesis; and the causal research because there is a correlation between leadership style and employees’ performance. Leadership Style (the independent variable) refers to the leader’s behaviour and style that can be used to increase the employee’s quality and performance as the dependent variable (employees’ performance). The result from coefficient of determination shows that the influence of leadership Style in employees’ job performance is 51.8%. It means that a lot of respondents do agree that leadership style has brought a great influence toward their performance. In the hypothesis test, the result of z count is 4.72 while the value from Z table is 1.96. In here, the z count is larger than the z table. Hence, H0 is rejected and HA is accepted, which means that Leadership style does influence employees’ job performance
