Investigate The Impact of Transformational Leadership On Employee Performance Through Mediating Role of Job Satisfaction

Abstract

Purpose

This research paper explores how transformational leadership influences the performance of employees with a focus on job satisfaction as a mediating variable. It seeks to unravel the relationship between the transformational behaviors of leaders that include inspiration, intellectual stimulation, and individualized consideration and the motivation of employees, their level of satisfaction and their output in the service industries.

Methodology

The structured questionnaire that was given to 69 employees working in different service fields was used as a quantitative research design. The survey was used to measure transformational leadership behavior, job satisfaction, and employee performance by validating Likert-scale measurement tools. The statistical analyses were conducted to test the relationship between the variables through statistical means such as reliability test, correlation, regression and mediation analysis.

Findings

Findings indicated that transformational leadership positively influences employee performance to a significant extent. Furthermore, this relationship is mediated by job satisfaction, which means that transformational leaders can improve performance in part by raising the degree of satisfaction of employees towards work. There was no significant impact of demographic variables like gender, age, working status

and experience on performance, which demonstrated that leadership style is a more powerful predictor of employee performance.

Conclusion

The results show that transformational leadership promotes positive work culture that enhances performance and satisfaction among employees. Inspirational and empowering leaders add to increased organizational commitment and productivity. The research supports the need to embrace transformational leadership practices as a way of attaining sustainable performance within service-based organizations.
