Research background Effective leadership is essential to ensure that change leads to increased efficiency and profitability (Pittaway et al., 1998; Zhao and Merna, 1992; Slattery and Olsen, 1984). The FMCG industry tends to be labor intensive and has increasingly harsh environmental demands imposed upon it. Leadership skills may help organizations to utilize the available human resources more effectively and to deal successfully with environmental pressures. Leadership as a subject has been somewhat neglected within FMCG industry research in Viet Nam. From human relations perspectives, employee‟s stress is related to the personality traits of the superior which as his/her temperament, openness, industriousness, pleasantness or not. The positive side of all of these traits can reduce stress and enhance satisfaction of employee. If organizations understand the influence of leadership skills or leadership styles may help organizations to utilize the available human resources more effectively and to deal successfully with environmental pressures. A brief introduction about turnover rate in Viet Nam. According to Vietnam news online paper, (2013), the turnover rate among workers is likely to grow this year as many hope to change their jobs, an online survey has found. Fast- moving consumer goods, pharmaceuticals, oil, and gas are predicted to be the top sectors of turnover rate. The high turnover rate of employees comes from many reasons. One of the most important reasons that lead to resignation of employee is not appropriate leadership. Employees feel unsatisfied with their boss. They decide to quit job in short time of working. The workplace stress is recognized, but little attention is given to the incidence of this 1 TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat@gmail.com problem in the this industry in Viet Nam, despite the growth of this sector, and the obvious relevance of stress to fluid situations where much depends on inter-personal relations. The subject of leadership is interesting for many people. The continued search for good leaders has resulted in the development of many leadership theories. Leadership can be defined as a social influence process. It involves determining the group or organization‟s objectives, encouraging behavior in pursuit of these objectives, and influencing group maintenance and culture (Yukl, 1994). Constructs like job stress, burnout, organizational commitment, and job performance have been developed and empirically tested in developed industrialized countries (Baba, Jamal & Tourigny, 1998; Maslach, 2003). Job stress can be defined as an individual‟s reactions to characteristics of the work environment that seem emotionally and physically threatening (Jamal, 2005). Stress can influence a variety of variables including job performance, organizational effectiveness (Borucki, 1987), personal relationships, and health (Bosma, et al. Research questions and research objectives The turnover rate in Companies in Vietnam is growing especially in Sales department of FMCGs companies, there are few studies of the influence of leadership behaviors on both organizational and leader effectiveness. That is why FMCG companies and employees who work in sales sector are mainly focus of this study. The proposed research question is as follows: How do the leader power styles affect on job stress of employee? The objectives of this research is identifying the relationships between leadership power bases and employees' job stress in Companies in Viet Nam. Research contribution/significance 2 TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat@gmail.com The study findings add to the field of leadership with information on the relationship of leaders and followers in terms of the degree to which leadership styles might relate to employee‟s stress in the workplace. There are relations between leader power bases and subordinates‟ job stress. The findings support that Legitimate power base stimulate job stress, Reward power, Expert power and Coercive Power do not stimulate to job stress. That helps the board director associates with HR department of organizations train managers/leaders of companies to use effectively kind of leadership styles to reduce job stress of subordinate and increase the effectiveness of both the leader and the organization. If an organization wants to succeed in a rapidly changing business environment, it is better for managers to use, Reward power, Expert power and Coercive Power than Legitimate power. Managers use various leadership styles to influence subordinates, decrease their job stress and to get things done in organizations. Job performance will increase so that, it will increase the success of their organization. Scope of the study and delimitation The framework of this study is to analyze the interaction among major variables of power bases depicted. The primary data used in this study is secured through survey questionnaire.
