Transformational Leadership and Organizational Culture

Today, leadership and organizational culture are regarded as the pillars of employee motivation and commitment. However, it has been observed that many business leaders neglect these elements in favor of authoritarian management.

The results show that transformational leadership has a positive effect on culture. This work is intended for all service company managers seeking organizational effectiveness and employee commitment, researchers and students conducting or leading research in the field of Management and Leadership.
