Methodology: To gather information from the participants on leadership and decision-making, a semi-structured interview was employed. Interviews were conducted with two department heads from RNB Global University, Bikaner

Results: The study's conclusions demonstrate that, despite being ambiguous in theory, decision-making and leadership styles have a close relationship in reality. Additionally, participatory leadership and consultative decision-making are the most popular leadership and decision-making styles.

In conclusion, the superior-subordinate relationship and employee performance have benefited greatly from this ideal relationship to some extent.
