The Influence of Leadership Style on Managerial Performance of Village Governments with Motivation as Mediation

“…The transactional leadership style allows leaders to achieve their performance goals, complete required tasks, maintain the current organizational situation, motivate subordinates through contractual agreements, direct subordinates' behavior towards the set goals' achievement, emphasize extrinsic rewards, avoid unnecessary risks, and focus on improving organizational efficiency (McCleskey, 2014). This transactional leadership style positively affected managerial performance (Amalia et al, 2016;Ivana 2016;Katim & Wiliyawati 2016;Bawarodi et al, 2017;Rorimpandey, 2013;Vigoda, 2007;Ejere & Abasilim, 2013;Masa'deh et al, 2016;Samson & Ayodeji, 2019;Kalsoom et al, 2018). It means that the more effective a leader is in applying this transactional leadership style, the higher the resulting performance.…”

“…Thus, managers who have goals to be achieved will work better and more optimally than managers with low motivation (Widyastuti, 2013). Motivation could positively and significantly impact performance (Katim & Wiliyawati, 2016;Rismayadi, 2018;Qadari et al, 2019;Nielsen et al, 2019;Putu et al, 2019;Andriani et al, 2018). It signifies that the higher a person's motivation to work, the performance will increase.…”

Kinerja Karyawan: Peran Transformasional Leadership dan Skill Competence

“…Salah satu gaya kepemimpinan yang menekankan pada pentingnya seorang pemimpin menciptakan visi dan lingkungan yang memotivasi para bawahan untuk berperestasi melampaui harapannya adalah kepemimpinan transformasional. Berbagai studi telah berhasil membuktikan bahwa kepemimpinan transformasi dapat meningkatkan kinerja pegawai (Jiang, Zhao, & Ni, 2017;Eliyana & Ma'arif, 2019;Ritonga & Ganyang, 2020;Katim & Wiliyawati, 2016). Karena keterbukaan, kompleksitas, dan tantangan yang disajikan oleh banyak proyek, kepemimpinan transformasional dianjurkan (Bass, 1990).…”

“…Demikian pula, Detert dan Burris (2007) memberikan bukti bahwa kepemimpinan yang berorientasi pada perubahan (yaitu, transformasional) memprediksi kinerja pekerjaan di tingkat unit. Studi lebih baru melaporkan bahwa kepemimpinan transformasional secara lansung dapat mempengaruhi kinerja (misalnya Jiang, Zhao, & Ni, 2017;Eliyana & Ma'arif, 2019;Ritonga & Ganyang, 2020;Katim & Wiliyawati, 2016), atau secara tidak langsung melalui kebermaknaan pekerjaan (Frieder, Wang & Oh, 2018); kepuasan kerja (Prabowo, Noermijati, & Irawanto, 2018); OCB (Jiang, Zhao, & Ni, 2017); atau engagement (Buil, Martínez, & Matute, 2019). Berdasarkan penjelasan tersebut maka hipotesis yang diajukan adalah: H1: kepemimpinan transformasional berpengaruh signifikan terhadap kinerja…”

“…Hasil penelitian ini tidak sejalan dengan teori Bass yang menyatakan kepemimpinan transformasional lebih meningkatkan kinerja karyawan. Hasil penelitian ini tidak mendukung studi sebelumnya (misalnya Jiang, Zhao, & Ni, 2017;Eliyana & Ma'arif, 2019;Ritonga & Ganyang, 2020;Katim & Wiliyawati, 2016).…”
