Abstract

This research explores the impact of transformational leadership on the attitude and quality of jobs in the manufacturing sector, increasing understanding of employee performance and organizational outcomes due to the gap found in the explanation of how the inputs of leadership translate into the outcomes of organizations. The present study found a weakness in the few studies relating transformational leadership to job quality, especially within the manufacturing setting. The objective of the present study was to examine the relationship of transformational leadership with job attitude and job quality while exploring if the relation between transformational leadership and job quality is mediated by job attitude. A quantitative research design approach has been utilized for this study. Data has been collected through structured surveys from 377 employees in the manufacturing sector, and the relationships are analyzed using descriptive, correlation, mediation analysis, and SEM. The findings revealed there is an extremely positive impact of transformational leadership on both job attitude and job quality, and, further, the relationship between transformational leadership and job quality is mediated by job attitude. Implications of the study suggest that the adoption of transformational leadership can hold the potential to drive employees to be motivated, innovative, and perform, thereby enhancing quality jobs and, subsequently, organizational success.
