THE EFFECT OF TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERSHIP ON TEACHER JOB SATISFACTION

Abstract

This paper explores the relationship between transformational leadership and job satisfaction, shedding light on the profound impact that leadership style can have within organizations. Transformational leadership, characterized by its ability to inspire and motivate followers by setting a compelling vision, fostering personal growth, and promoting a sense of purpose, has garnered significant attention in the context of job satisfaction. Through a comprehensive review of relevant literature and empirical evidence, this abstract summarizes key findings on the effect of transformational leadership on job satisfaction. Research consistently demonstrates a strong positive association between transformational leadership and job satisfaction. Transformational leaders articulate a compelling vision and set high expectations aligning employee work with their values and aspirations, resulting in increased job satisfaction. Additionally, the promotion of collaboration and trust within these leadership styles further reinforces employees' sense of value and support, positively impacting job satisfaction. Recognizing the importance of transformational leadership in fostering job satisfaction, organizations should prioritize leadership development programs that cultivate these behaviours among their leaders. Through harnessing the power of transformational leadership, organizations can create a workplace where employees not only excel but also find fulfilment and satisfaction in their roles, ultimately contributing to the long-term success and prosperity of the organization.
