A Review Based Study on Transformational Leadership and Its Future Prospects

Abstract

The objective of this review was to systematically retrieve and review the key literatures pertinent to the concepts and aspects of Transformational Leadership. As the literature appraisal was the crucial module of this research, identifying relevant studies had to be a systematic as well as significant process. To retrieve as many pertinent published articles as possible, this study referred the different database and search engines and various pre-synthesized keywords, including Transformational leadership style, Transformational leadership behavior, leadership, and Transformational leadership in industry. “Transformational leadership” and “transformational leadership in industry” were used as the main keywords and phrases which retrieved enormous amounts of original peer-reviewed studies. The literature search identified many published articles indicative of the significance of the Transformational leadership. The subject of operative leadership in organizations had been indicated by recent many studies. When selecting, promoting, and appraising employees, leadership skills were taken into account. In credit of its standing, organizations stereotypically assisted and encouraged the development of employees' leadership skills as evident. The review provided a comprehensive assessment of different transformational leadership scales and suggested MLQ as a short scale that was found to be easy to administer and score. The evidence indicated that it had acceptable reliability and construct validity.
