The social construction of lesbians in Makassar City is greatly influenced by the social dynamics around them. The processes of externalization, objectification, and internalization experienced by lesbian individuals create space for the lesbian community to form more flexible and diverse identities and roles. Nevertheless, the challenges that lesbians face are related to social norms that often limit the expression of their identities, both in heterosexual contexts and within their own communities. Lesbians who choose to display a more feminine or masculine role, or conversely display a more neutral identity, demonstrate an effort to communicate and adapt to it.This research also reveals that there is a tension between the quest for acceptance by wider society and the search for space for freedom of self-expression. For some lesbians, the choice to appear in accordance with social expectations such as feminine or masculine appearance is a way to conform to existing norms, even though sometimes this does not reflect their true identity. On the other hand, lesbians who prefer not to be bound by labels and rigid gender roles show that they are trying to fight for freedom in defining their own relationships and identity. This research contributes to the understanding of how the social construction of lesbians is shaped and influenced by various social factors, culture, and personal experiences, as well as how lesbian individuals navigate their social world by forming a more flexible and evolving identity.
 
 

This study investigated the effects of different leadership styles on employee productivity in JUHEL Pharmaceutical Firm, Anambra State, Nigeria. The primary objectives were to analyze the impact of transformational leadership, evaluate transactional leadership, and explore laissez-faire leadership's influence on productivity, as well as compare these styles' overall effectiveness. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected from 66 employees through structured surveys. Descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and ANOVA were employed for data analysis. The findings revealed that transformational leadership had a significant positive effect on employee productivity, enhancing motivation and performance. Transactional leadership showed a moderate impact, fostering goal-oriented behaviors and structured work environments.

Comparative analysis indicated that transformational leadership outperformed the other styles in promoting higher productivity metrics. This study highlights the importance of effective leadership strategies for enhancing productivity in pharmaceutical firms. It suggests that JUHEL Pharmaceutical Firm and similar organizations should prioritize transformational leadership development to achieve optimal performance. The research contributes valuable insights to the field of leadership studies and offers a basis for future investigations into leadership practices and productivity outcomes.
