More and more, healthcare institutions work to ameliorate the relation supervisor/supervised. In hospitals, transformational leadership proved to influence employee’s motivation and satisfaction (Spinelli, 2006, p.20) thus the hospital’s services. To our knowledge, there is no study conducted on the administrative employees in the healthcare sector in Lebanon that constitute our sample. There is only one study conducted on nurses by El-Jardali et al., (2008) in 69 hospitals in this country. Given this situation, we how can describe the relationship between transformational leadership and employee’s job satisfaction in hospitals? Data processing of a questionnaire administered to 455 employees of 28 over 125 hospitals in Lebanon shows that there is no significant relationship between the employee’s job satisfaction and these two transformational leadership components: leader’s idealized influence and intellectual stimulation. While we found a correlation between employee’s job satisfaction and two other components: inspirational motivation (Training; projects monitoring) and individualized consideration (Active listening to employee’s work issues).

This study attempts to explore and establish a link between these concepts through variables of transformational leadership; namely, intellectual stimulation and idealized influence with popular “trust-commitment” framework in relationship marketing.

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.


Transformational leaders motivate followers to achieve performance beyond expectations by transforming their attitudes, beliefs, and values as opposed to simply gaining compliance. Transformational leadership was conceptualized as being composed by four independent dimensions, known as the four “I”s : inspirational motivation (the sense of drive that the leader inspires in followers and that produces additional, goal-oriented energy for the group or organization), intellectual stimulation (the boost in creativity in followers that the leader stimulates by encouraging an independent and innovative way of thinking), idealized influence (exemplary behaviour of the leader that generates respect and trust and makes followers proud of their group and organization), and individualized consideration (perception that the leader genuinely cares for followers and their well-being). This paper examines the nexus between transformational leadership and team effectiveness.
