Unveiling the Impact of Leadership Interplay on Organizational Commitment

Effective leadership is integral to an organization’s success, as it shapes employee attitudes and behaviors toward achieving goals and fosters a culture aligned with the organizational vision. Transactional and transformational leadership are two prominent styles that have been extensively studied, with transformational leadership often perceived as more desirable. This study aims to bridge gaps in existing research by investigating the interplay between these leadership styles and their impact on organizational outcomes, particularly employee commitment, using data from the 2020 Public Employee Perception Survey conducted by the Korea Institute of Public Administration (KIPA). The study contributes to the literature on leadership’s impact on organizational outcomes and sheds light on the mechanisms through which leadership styles influence employee commitment, providing a comprehensive understanding of their collective influence on organizational success.
