Abstract
There are two paradigms we can found
when discussing about leadership; those are transactional and transformational
leadership. This paper is to examine the contribution of transformational
leadership to commitment and its concomitants of involvement, loyalty, and
satisfaction. I also consider the mechanisms underlying the process. Although
transformational leadership clearly affects the performance of work groups and
organizations, the strongest effects of transformational leadership seem to be
on followers’ attitudes and their commitment to the leader and the
organization. Moreover, it may be that it is the extraordinary commitment of
followers of transformational leaders that underlies the exceptional
performance of many groups led by transformational leaders.
