Transformational leadership, organizational commitmentAbstract
This paper reviews the literature of transformational leadership and organizational commitment. Despite transformational leadership and leadership theory has been successful and exceptional; scholars have examined the link between transformational leadership and organizational commitment. The purpose of this paper is to find the relationship between transformational leadership and organizational commitment. The rationale of the paper is to gain a better understanding of transformational leadership and organizational commitment. The study will examine whether or not transformational leadership related to organizational commitment. According to the transformational leadership theory, transformation leaders enthuse followers to achieve beyond expectations for the standards of work that can enthuse and how that idealized influence, inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation and individualized consideration could create intermediate results such as affective, normative, and continuance commitment. In turn, transformational leadership may positively relate to organizational commitment.Â
