The data has been collected from 325 employees, who are employed in different banks in Pakistan. The survey measured authentic and charismatic leadership style, organizational identification, and psychological empowerment on the technique of structural equation modeling, and instruments were adopted from literature. The result reveals that there is a direct impact of authentic leadership on organizational identification and there is partial mediation of psychological empowerment. The results also show that there is an impact of charismatic leadership on organizational identification and there is partial mediation of psychological empowerment in this relation as well.

And the style of leadership guides their followers towards the organizational goal and objective, and high organizational performance through organizational identification can be achieved if provided with rightly chosen styles of leadership.
