Abstract: The paper aims to investigate the impact of leadership (transformational leadership, transactional leadership, and servant leadership), leadership styles, leadership roles, leadership traits, and leadership sources on economic sustainability. This research has been carried out among the Islamic banks in Yemen. The study is based on primary data. The data has been collected by questionnaire from four major cities (Sanaa, Aden, Taiz and Alhodidah). The total numbers of the respondents were 250. The data has been analysed by smart PLS3. This paper is the first to analyse leadership practice on economic sustainability in Yemeni context. The study found that servant leadership, leadership traits, leadership roles and leadership styles do not have a significant impact on economic sustainability. Transactional leadership, transformational leadership, and leadership sources have high significant impact on economic sustainability.

Keywords: transformational; transactional; servant; styles; roles; economic sustainability.
