Purpose- The purpose of this paper is to explore the relationship between individual focused and group focused Transformational Leadership and outcomes measured in terms of extra effort, effectiveness and satisfaction through an empirical survey in three Indian industry segments. Transformational leadership is a leadership form which is fully evolved. Leadership is essentially motivating others but not coercing them. The focus of transformational leadership is to change the thought process of the followers to enable them to contribute their might for the organization instead of seeking rewards from the organization. Transformational leadership was explained in detail by James M Burns and was further elaborated by Bass and Avolio as consisting of five leadership constructs ie idealized influence related to the leader’s behaviors, idealized influence related to the leader’s attributes, inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation, and individualized consideration. Process- Correlation between Transformational leadership and its impact in motivating people has been an interesting subject to evaluate. Bass and Avolio developed MLQ ( Multi factor leadership questionnaire ) to carry out such a study. This survey was carried out in a large Indian Paper and Paperboard manufacturing division, a tobacco division and an agri division of an enterprise of repute in which about 326 managers participated and the survey findings were subjected to statistical analysis. Findings-Transformational leadership is reputed to enhance employee satisfaction, motivation, technological innovation, and leader effectiveness ratings. While all of these have been proved by the survey quoted above, it was interesting to note the relationship between Individual focused leadership and Group focused leadership and the outcomes measured in terms of extra effort, effectiveness and satisfaction. Research limitations-In the empirical survey carried out, participants were males which is a limitation caused by non availability of lady managers. Originality/value-The current research compared the individual constructs of the Leadership style in terms of Individual focused leadership and Group focused leadership and each of the outcomes in detail and established their relationship.

The present study analyses the gender differences in implementing organizational change in Romania’s central public administration, from a subordinates’ perspective, in order to establish whether female leaders are more likely to adopt change in comparison to their male counterparts. The research methodology consists of an opinion survey conducted in the central public administration of Romania based on a questionnaire. The study reveals that female leaders are perceived in a positive, yet not in a better manner than men. They are considered transformational leaders capable of involvement in the process of organizational change of public institutions. There are no significant differences between the perceptions of men and women as leaders, although almost all the differences are in favour of men. The study shows a strong correlation between transformational leadership and leaders’ capacity of implementing the management of change, the relationship being stronger in the case of female leaders who should continue to strengthen transformational behaviours.

The study explores the influence of transactional and transformational leadership on value congruence and leader effectiveness. Despite the relevance of a leadership-value congruence relationship, a good theoretical framework is lacking. After a review of literature on each of these areas, an integrated model of the relationships between leadership, value congruence and outcomes, is presented. Drawing on previous research, it is proposed that the relationship between leadership and effectiveness be mediated by the efficacy expectancies of followers. It is argued that leader-follower altruistic value congruence would moderate the relationship between transformational leadership and effectiveness. By contrast, leader-follower trading value congruence would moderate the relationship between transactional leadership and effectiveness. Based on the leadership-value congruence model, several research propositions are presented for future empirical verification.

METHODS: A quantitative cross-sectional research design was adopted, consist of 97 Nurses. This study used a Confirmatory Factor Analysis, Structural Equation Modeling using PLS-SEM approach to analyze the data. RESULTS: The results showed that there is a positive influence on transformational leadership on organizational commitment. The better transformational leadership, the higher the organizational commitment of nurses. There is a negative influence on transformational leadership on work stress. The better transformational leadership, the lower the work stress of nurses. There is a negative influence on organizational commitment to turnover intentions. The higher the nurse’s organizational commitment, the lower the nurse turnover intention. There is a positive influence on work stress to turnover intentions. The higher the nurse’s work stress, the higher the the nurse turnover intention. Another outcome discovered was that indirect influence of leadership through commitment and work stress is greater than direct influence, transformational leadership directly influenced organization commitment, and work stress but was not significantly related to turnover intentions.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explore the influence of transformational leadership, organizational commitment, job embeddedness, and job search behaviors on voluntary turnover intentions among senior administrators in intercollegiate athletics departments in the USA. Design/methodology/approach – In total, 196 senior athletic administrators completed an online questionnaire assessing transformational leadership of the athletic director, organizational commitment, job embeddedness, job search behaviors, and voluntary turnover intentions. A model of turnover intentions was tested using structural equation modeling. Findings – Results indicated that organizational commitment did not mediate the relationship between transformational leadership and job search behaviors, nor did job search behaviors mediate the relationship between organizational commitment and turnover intentions. However, job embeddedness moderated the relationship between organizational commitment and job search behaviors. Research limitations/implications – While the study results cannot be generalized outside of the intercollegiate context, the findings further the understanding of variables influencing the relationship between transformational leadership and turnover, which can guide future research. Practical implications – To limit job search and retain employees, managers would benefit from targeting retention efforts on employees with less organizational commitment and lower levels of job embededdness. Managers should strive to foster job embeddedness among employees. Originality/value – This study examines potential mediating and moderating variables of the relationship between transformational leadership and voluntary turnover intentions, an area of inquiry that has not been fully explored in the literature.
