Abstract Transformational leadership style and emotional intelligence are aiding managers’ performance. This study explained the influence that transformational style and emotional intelligence flexibility subscale have on organizational performance during change initiatives. Emotional intelligence and leadership theory represent the theoretical lens and framework in the research study. Emotional intelligence flexibility subscale was assessed with the Emotional Quotient Inventory 2.0 (EQi 2.0), and transformational style was assessed with the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ 5X). The study included a population of 180 managers from a nonprofit company in Texas, USA. Data collected were analyzed using multiple linear regression and Pearson correlational model to assess if a relationship existed between managers’ emotional intelligence flexibility subscale and transformational style. The results showed a relationship between the emotional intelligence flexibility subscale and the transformational style. This research study may be beneficial to leaders in all industries undergoing organizational change to apply emotional intelligence flexibility subscale and transformational leadership style during the implementation of change initiatives.

Our education system has been remoulding rapidly because of modernization. Transformational leadership style leads to favourable changes in those who follow. These leaders put in maximum efforts to increase the level of follower’s awareness for valued outcomes by expanding and elevating their needs and encouraging them to transcend their self-interests. Transformational leadership plays pivotal role in promoting and managing school development by influencing the self-efficacy of teachers. Self-efficacy is one of the four major components of positive psychological capital .School is the first and foremost important platform of education. The present paper makes an attempt to study the relationship between transformational leadership style of principal and self-efficacy of school teachers. For this, a total sample of 120 (n=20 school principals having minimum 7-8yrs. experience and n= 100 school teachers having minimum 5yrs.experience of senior classes) were taken. The ratio was 1:5 (1 principal and 5 teacher from the same school). The scores of 1 principal were assigned to 5 teachers. Teacher self-efficacy scale by Schwarzer, Schmitz and Daytner and Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire by Bass and Avolio were used to measure the above variables. The data were analysed with the help of Correlation and Regression technique. Obtained findings revealed the positive correlation of idealized influence, individualized consideration, contingent reward, management-by-exception and laissez-faire leadership with self-efficacy.

This study aims to examine the influence of transformational leadership style and organizational culture on organizational performance with emotional intelligence as a mediation variable. This research uses an explanatory research approach. Explanatory research is meant to explain the causal relationship between variables through hypothesis testing or the goal of obtaining appropriate testing in drawing causal conclusions between variables and then selecting alternative actions. The basic reason for using explanatory research is because the purpose of this study is to explain and examine the effect of transformational leadership, organizational culture and emotional intelligence on organizational performance at the Jatimelati Village Office, Bekasi. The population in this study were all sub-district office employees, amounting to 30 people. In this study, in determining the sample using saturated samples. Researchers set the sample in this study consisting of 30 employees. Based on result that partially, it shows that there is a positive and significant influence between transformational leadership style variables on emotional intelligence. Partially, it shows that there is a positive and significant influence between organizational culture variables on emotional intelligence. Partially, it shows that there is a positive and significant influence between transformational leadership style variables on organizational performance variables. Partially it shows a positive and significant influence between organizational culture variables on organizational performance variables. The emotional intelligence variable does not influence organizational performance; this is in contrast to previous research. So that it distinguishes this research from previous research.

The objective of the study is to determine the relationship between the perceived transformational leadership styles of officers (as perceived by their followers) and their followers’ levels of work engagement. Followers (n=307) were identified in units of the South African Army. They completed the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES) and the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ) (Form 5X) for their specific leaders. Correlational analyses indicate significant correlations between the transformational leadership style of officers and their followers’ work engagement. A small amount of the variance in the work engagement outcomes can be predicted by transformational leadership. The findings suggest that there is a relationship between idealised influence (attributed) and vigour and dedication. Furthermore, individualised consideration was shown to relate to absorption within the South African sample. Idealised influence was found to predict some variance in vigour and dedication and individual consideration to predict some variance in absorption.

The article argues that there is a statistically significant positive relationship between leadership style and creativity. It was found that there is a higher statistically significant positive relation between transformational leadership style and creativity than between creativity and the other leadership styles. Creativity (fluency of thought and originality) can partially be accounted for by the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire. To demonstrate this in the study, the researcher uses, firstly the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire to identify leadership style, and secondly three measuring instruments that measure creativity. The argument is substantiated by the results of a statistical analysis of leadership style and creativity. OpsommingHierdie artikel argumenteer dat daar ’n statisities-beduidende positiewe verband bestaan tussen leierskapstyl en kreatiwiteit. Daar is bevind dat daar ’n hoër statisties-beduidende positiewe verband tussen transformasionele leierskapstyl en kreatiwiteit is as tussen kreatiwiteit en die ander leierskapstyle. Kreatiwiteit (vlotheid van denke en oorspronklikheid) kan gedeeltelik verklaar word deur die Veelfaktorleierskapvraelys (MLQ). Om dit te illustreer, gebruik die navorsers in hierdie studie die Veelfaktorleierskapvraelys ten einde leierskapstyl te identifiseer en tweedens drie meetinstrumente wat kreatiwiteit meet. Die argument word gesubstansieer deur die resultate van ’n statistiese ontleding van leierskapstyle en kreatiwiteit.

This study examines the effects of transformational leadership on subordinates’ extra effort in the unique case of the Swiss Armed Forces’ militia system. The transformational leadership style of 201 superiors who were perceived as outstanding was examined in a first study using the German version of the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ-5X). Relationships of transformational leadership with subordinates’ extra effort were found to be differentially moderated by “command structure” depending on whether the subordinates were militia personnel or military professionals. For military professionals, all components of transformational leadership on the part of lower-ranking superiors had a positive effect on subordinates’ extra effort. For militia personnel, only the interaction between “command structure” and idealized influence increased subordinates’ extra effort. A second study of 51 platoon leaders supported the augmentation effect postulated by transformational leadership theory.

Abstract. Using the Multifactor Leadership theoretical model (Bass and Avolio, 1995) was diagnosed the perceived leadership style by 161 workers of a Regional Call Center of a Mexican public company in charge of distribution and marketing of electricity. We used the short version of the MLQ (Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire), Likert-scaled, validating its internal reliability (Cronbach's alpha for each dimension). Statistical analysis included the overall narrative and the use of structural equations (SPSS 19 and Amos, 19). Model results showed the data are consistent with the proposed research model, with a Chi2 (2)=51.26, df=31, p=0.012, 2/df=1.65, RMSEA=0.064, CFI =0.99, NFI=0.96 and TLI=.98). In general, all goodness of fit indicators manifest a good model fit. The results emphasized the importance of a good transactional leadership style complemented by a good transformational leadership style, to achieve good employee extra effort, effectiveness, and satisfaction.Keywords: call center, leadership styles, structural equation, transformational leadership, transactional leadershipJEL: M50, C30.Resumen.

Research has suggested a relationship between leadership style and job satisfaction. This paper examines this relationship in the context of a developing country, viz., South Africa. The objective of the paper is to assess the relationship between the two variables as well as the influence of biographical variables on leadership style and job satisfaction. The survey was based on the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire and the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire. The results suggest a significant correlation between the three leadership styles, viz., transformational leadership, transactional leadership and laissez-faire leadership, and job satisfaction. There were no significant differences between the biographical variables and the three leadership styles.
