“…The leader that transforms employees is constantly trying to inject this thought into their followers, so that they possess superior powers and abilities and not only have to deal with current issues but also look at things from a new perspective. In addition, transformational leadership encourages organizational learning and provides policy for critical periods (Shadraconis, 2013), and it is effective in promoting and improving organizational effectiveness (Ling & Ling, 2012). With increasing levels of skills, capabilities, commitment of employees through transformational leadership, and increased job satisfaction (Nasiri-Valikbani & Emadi-Pashakalai, 2016), employees are more likely to work than their usual duties and function beyond the organization's expectations (Bahadori & Nayeri, 2017).…”

This paper seeks to examine transformational and transactional leadership, employees’ organizational citizenship behavior, employees’ job satisfaction and perceived organizational support; which are employees' organizational citizenship behavior associations. In addition, this study explores the mediating role of employees’ job satisfaction and perceived organizational support in the relationship between transformational and transactional leadership styles and employees’ organizational citizenship behavior. The study was conducted at the University of Birjand, Iran, on a sample of 250 employees. This research follows a descriptive and correlational approach. Our findings show that transformational leadership and employees’ job satisfaction and perceived organizational support positively and significantly influence employees’ organizational citizen-ship behavior. Additionally, results revealed that employees’ job satisfaction mediates the association between transformational and transactional leadership and employees’ organizational citizenship behavior. Moreover, employees perceived organizational support mediates the association between transformational and transactional leadership and employees’ organizational citizenship behavior. Iranian organizations, especially universities, should invest in transformational leadership and job satisfaction, as well as in the selection of managers with transformational leadership styles and employees who are eager to work at the university, in order to enrich the organizational citizenship behavior of employees.

“…In describing transformational leadership, Burns (1978) stated that it is a process in which "leaders and followers make each other advance to a higher level of morality and motivation" (p. 19). Venkat (2005) and Shadraconis (2013) defined transformational leadership as the leaders' ability to motivate and direct their subordinates toward achieving organisational goals and performing beyond those goals. Further, noted that transformational leadership facilitates the redefinition of a people's mission and vision, a renewal of their commitment and the restructuring of their systems for goal accomplishment.…”

Education is a key factor contributing to the success of a nation's human development to support the national vision and mission. The nation depends on schools to ensure the efficient and successful education process for human development. In fact, studies on educational progress have proven that leadership is important for school success and high performance. The vast literature has supported that transformational leadership of school principals is the proven leadership attribute in school success and achievement. Thus, this study aims at examining the relationships between principals' transformational leadership practices and school culture in primary cluster schools in the state of Selangor, Malaysia. A quantitative approach was used to achieve the aim. The study included 331 teachers in primary cluster schools in Selangor and data were analysed using SPSS v.22. The findings indicated that teachers in primary cluster schools in Selangor perceived their principals as having a high level of transformational leadership characteristics. Furthermore, a significantly positive and a strong correlation was found between principal transformational leadership practices and school culture. Multiple regression analysis showed that only four out of the eight dimensions of transformational leadership are statistically significant predictors of school culture. It is recommended that the education authorities and principals take note of the importance of transformational leadership in ensuring school success.

“…17 This is for instance the case in team sports if the team is losing badly and 15 seems incapable of reacting, in public organizations such as hospitals when doctors/nurses face difficult situations with patients and one of them should step up to take a leadership role 18 , or even in partnership firms or firms with diffuse ownership facing difficult times. In all these cases, leadership is often badly needed and a great leader could emerge among the management team or the employees to enable the organization to stay afloat (Bass, 1995, Shadraconis, 2013, and to recreate a positive spirit and some consensus (Markoczy, 2003). However, despite the obvious need for a strong leader, its emergence is difficult to come about.…”

Research on leadership in economics has developed in parallel to the literature in management and psychology and links between the fields have been sparse. Whereas modern leadership scholars mostly focus on transformational and related leadership styles, economists have mainly emphasized the role of contracts, control rights, and incentives. We argue that both fields could profit from enriching their approach with insights from the other field. We review and synthesize the economics literature on leadership in organizations and discuss how leadership scholars in management and psychology can benefit from the detailed understanding of transactional methods that economists have developed.We link the contributions in economics to a broad set of topics including the foundations of leadership, leader emergence, and leader effectiveness. At the same time, we also point out limitations of the economic approach and outline how the integration of leadership research and economics would broaden the scope of future studies.
