The Impact of Leadership on Employees’ Loyalty and on Organizational Success: Do Transformational and Transactional Leadership Ensure Organizational and Work Commitment?

Abstract

Leadership issues are vital to organizational success (Kumar and Kaptan, 2007). Without a strategic and effective leadership, it is difficult for the members of the organization to maintain profitability, productivity and competitive advantage (Lussier and Achua, 2007).

Figure 1 shows the transition from the traditional bureaucratic public administration to the creation of social value.…”

“…It is important for leaders to understand the digital transformation and to show a willingness to take these changes into account. Leadership seems to have a direct impact on digital maturity itself (Danailova, 2014;Xanthopoulou & Karampelas, 2020). Civil servants are those employees who serve the public interest through their performance (Gerxhi, 2015) thus ensuring success in the digitization of the public sector requires strong central support and leadership complemented by preventive local and regional initiatives promoted by local actors (Millard, 2010).…”
