The Role of Transformational Leadership on Employee Performance Through Organizational Learning Culture and Intrinsic Work Motivation

Abstract

When organizations devote various resources to increase its effectiveness and growth, leaders continue to think about the best ways to motivate employees to work more effectively and efficiently. Therefore, this study examines the following questions: (a) the extent to which transformational leadership affects organizational learning culture, intrinsic work motivation, and employee performance? (b) the extent to which organizational learning culture affects employee performance? and (c) the extent to which intrinsic work motivation affects employee performance? Using a questionnaire distributed online to employees at a community health center in Riau island – Indonesia, data were collected and analyzed through Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) employing SmartPLS 3.0 software. The results of the study prove that (a) transformational leadership directly and significantly affects organizational learning culture, intrinsic work motivation, and employee performance, (b) organizational learning culture directly has no significant effect on employee performance, and (c) intrinsic work motivation directly and significantly affects employee performance. The findings and implications of this study indicate that intrinsic work motivation indirectly plays an important role in linking transformational leadership and employee performance.

Prevailing Leadership Styles in Change Management: Evidences from Existing Research

“…Leaders that consistently provide emotional support for their followers and help them see that the organization's objectives are mutual and desired may rest easy knowing that their workers will have a smoother transition and greater understanding of the organization's direction. Not only do transformational leaders show an emotional investment in their followers, but they also take the time to learn about each person's unique set of skills and limitations so that they can better coach and mentor them as they adapt to organizational changes (Udin, 2023). Given this body of research, it's clear that the leaders of an organization would be best served by adopting a transformational leadership stance.…”

“…There are several benefits to using any of these leadership styles, the most obvious being the positive impact on the organization's long-term success. At the same time, a leader's performance may be gauged by looking at how well they adapt to shifting priorities within their organization (Udin, 2023). Leaders will not be able to get anything done until their teams buy into the fact that the organization is changing for the better.…”
