Transactional And Transformational Leadership

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to answer calls for more research on how leaders may promote organizational ambidexterity (i.e. exploitation and exploration), and how such behaviors relate to transactional and transformational leadership styles. Design/methodology/approach – The findings presented in this paper are based on semi-structured interviews with 11 senior leaders in Australian Defence. Findings – This paper identifies three organizational mechanisms that leaders rely on to promote exploitation, and five behaviors that leaders rely on to promote exploration. These mechanisms and behaviors closely match transactional and transformational leadership styles, respectively. Originality/value – This paper provides support for the leadership ambidexterity construct, and for the thesis that transformational leadership is appropriate in the context of exploratory innovation, while transactional leadership is appropriate in the context of exploitative innovation.

Transactional And Transformational Leadership

AbstractLeadership style used in a higher education institution affects the competence-based performance of the lecturers and the administrative staff. In turn, their performance will affect the institution performance. So, leadership style influences the institution toward strengthening its strategy to sustain. This study examined the transactional and transformational leadership styles toward the lecturers and the administrative staff of STIE Perbanas Surabaya. Transformational leadership was measured using ideal, inspirational, and intellectual stimuli; while transactional leadership was measured using exceptional management and contingency reward. The indicators used to measure the lecturers' performance were on teaching, module, research, civil services, IT, English; while for administrative staff were integrity, service, professionalism, learning, adaptation, documenting, English. The survey involved 32 lecturers and 31 administrative staff. The data was collected using questionnaire and was statistically analyzed using multiple regressions. The result was that transformational leadership significantly influenced both the lecturers and the administrative staff, while transactional leadership did not affect both the lecturers and the administrative staff. The implication was that the top management can set strategies of putting motivation of all organization members in the frame of improving their competence thus this will help the institution grow and sustain.

Transactional And Transformational Leadership

Abstract We investigated the impact of transactional and transformational leadership styles on organizational citizenship behaviors. The sample consisted of 213 workers of both genders who answered the Multifactorial Leadership Scale and the Organizational Citizenship Behaviors (OCB) Scale. The multiple linear regression showed that: the transactional leadership style positively predicted the OCB dimension associated to the creation of a climate favorable to the organization in the external environment; the transformational leadership style positively predicted the dimensions of OCB associated to the creative suggestions related to the system; to the creation of a favorable organizational climate in the external environment; to self-training and to cooperation among colleagues; transformational leadership style showed greater predictive power on OCB than transactional leadership. It was concluded that transformational leaders are more capable to lead their subordinates in order to take actions that go beyond their prescribed roles.
