The Impact of Transformational Leadership on Organizational Commitment
(2013) Demirjian, Aline Agop
The research study explores the effect of Transformational Leadership on Organizational Commitment. The literature review explains in details the components of the two concepts. The study was done by a survey questionnaire with a five point likert measure scale. Transformational Leadership variables were identified as the independent variables; while the survey was then statistically analyzed. Regression Analysis showed overall that the Transformational Leadership components had an positive effect on followers’ affective commitment, negative effect on followers’ continuance commitment, and no effect on normative commitment. The Independent T-tests showed that on average excellent-rated organizations had better Transformational Leaders and their followers’ displayed affective commitment, while the poor-rated organizations showed lower results for Transformational Leadership and followers’ displayed more continuance commitment. Overall, this study proves that Transformational Leadership plays an important role in determining followers’ affective and continuance commitment. The findings explain the values and behaviors that need to be practiced by transformational leaders in order to increase the emotional attachment of followers and decrease their continuance commitment levels.
