Effective communication is a critical leadership competence that influences organizational performance. This research investigates how participative, directive, and supportive leadership communication contribute to employee performance while controlling for employees' educational background, work experience, and age. A quantitative research design was adopted, using a census (saturated sampling) method involving all 96 employees in the production workforce. Descriptive findings indicate that the participative communication style has the highest mean score (3.96), followed by directive (3.53) and supportive (3.37). Regression analysis demonstrates that participative and directive communication significantly improve employee performance, whereas supportive communication does not exhibit a statistically significant effect. Education level has a positive effect, whereas work experience and age show no significant impact. The model explains 73.9% of performance variation (R² = 0.739). Overall, the findings suggest that participative and directive communication practices play an important role in improving employee coordination, motivation, and productivity, highlighting the importance of strengthening leaders' communication capabilities through continuous organizational development.
