Transformational leadership and job satisfaction of police officers (carabineros) in Chile: the mediating effects of group identification and work engagement / Liderazgo transformacional y satisfacción laboral en carabineros de Chile: los efectos mediadores de la identificación con el grupo y el work engagement

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to examine the relationship between transformational leadership and work satisfaction, as well as to analyse the mediating role of group identification and work engagement in a police training process at a Chilean professional military institution. The sample was made up of 985 candidates representing all the candidates that joined the units of the country in the different locations. Officers and non-commissioned officers acting as instructors were considered 'leaders', while their 'followers' were the young candidates in the training period. It was found that all the relevant variables were positively and significantly interrelated, and a model of structural equations revealed that both work engagement and group identification played a mediating role in the relationship between transformational leadership and work satisfaction.

The Diminishing Effect of Transformational Leadership on the Relationship Between Task Characteristics, Perceived Meaningfulness, and Work Engagement

“…We expect that transformational leadership can diminish the positive indirect effect of perceived meaningfulness, although it has been verified that transformational leadership positively relates to followers' meaningful perception (e.g., Frieder et al, 2017) and work engagement (e.g., Ghadi et al, 2013;Espinoza-Parra et al, 2015). Transformational leadership is likely to constrain the extent to which relatively stable task character istics can influence the perception of the meaningfulness of work.…”

Penelitian-penelitian tersebut dilakukan dengan menggunakan responden beragam dari berbagai industri (bank, restoran, rumah sakit, hotel, pendidikan, media, dan kepolisian.…”

Relación entre el liderazgo transformacional y la satisfacción laboral de los empleados administrativos de una empresa maquiladora del sector automotriz

“…La competencia, sinceridad, integridad, confianza y respeto son algunos de los aspectos clave que identifican a los supervisores que son de gran fiabilidad para las personas que pertenezcan a la organización (Tan & Tan, 2000). En esta vertiente, los líderes transformacionales son capaces de lograr un cambio significativo en los valores, actitudes y creencias de los seguidores, mejora el rendimiento y genera gran sentido de pertenencia e identidad a su grupo de trabajo logrando crear fuertes lazos afectivos entre el líder y los colaboradores (Espinoza, Molero, & Fuster, 2015). Por otra parte, Castillo Espinoza (2016) refiere que en particular este estilo de liderazgo tiene una relación en la satisfacción de los empleados en el contexto laboral.…”
