Introduction Organizational culture is highly affected by national culture. Cultural conditioning affects the way a leader behaves and what his/her personal value systems are which in turn is reflected in his/her leadership style. It is the culture which shows what are the key factors that motivate an employee and what organizational policies and procedures have been “crystallized in the institutions” like family, organization, schools, etc. which reflect the culture that is shown upon the common beliefs which are derived from common culture (Hofstede, 1980, p.43). Employee motivation and leadership are strongly affected by culture (Hofstede, 1980). As there are differences in cultural practices so arises differences in practices of leadership (House, 2004). Thus, culture has a strong impact on the employee motivation (Herzberg, 1965; Hofstede, 1980) as well as on leadership style (Hofstede, 1980; House, 2004). Further the effect of globalization has reduced the distance between cultures and more and more multinational companies are adopting a global culture which does not reflect the essence of any regional culture. Given this it will be interesting to understand if there exist any cultural affect on the leadership styles of cultures or there are any affect that culture has on motivation of employees. Further it is leadership of a company which shapes the organization and its operations. So leadership is an important factor which needs to be considered while analyzing two organizations and motivation is important to understand what drives the employees to work. For a company to be successful a good leader and motivated employees are very important. So it is important to understand what kind of leadership style and motivating factors drives the growth of two companies, from two different cultural backgrounds. Aim and Objective Culture of a country has its effect in forming the beliefs and thoughts of a country. It is argued that due to the difference in the value structure there is a difference in the leadership style and the motivation of employees. This paper argues that culture has its effect on the leadership style as well as motivation. The reason is found in the basic relationship between employee and leader as well as in the company policies. In this effect, the paper studies two organizations viz. Emirates and Virgin Atlantic in order to understand the cultural difference that affects the leadership style and motivation in both the organizations. Different organizations have different culture and structure which define the way employees are to be motivated or the leadership style that is prevalent in the organization. As British and Arab cultures are completely different from each other and so it will be interesting to understand the difference in leadership styles and The paper will also try to find if the perceived difference due to culture is actually existent or not. So the research question for the study is that if there is any difference in leadership style and motivation to employees in Virgin Atlantic and Emirates? If yes, to what the difference may be attributed? Methodology For this purpose the paper is divided into three broad categories. The first part will provide a brief understanding of the literature and theories which will be used throughout the paper. Then the study will undert
