Transformational Dynamics: Linking Leadership Roots to Organizational Effectiveness

Abstract

Over the past few decades, the concept of leadership has evolved, becoming more sophisticated and nuanced, with numerous factors found to influence organizational performance. Among these, leadership style has been recognized as a critical determinant of organizational effectiveness. This study aims to examine the relationship between transformational leadership traits and their efficacy. The survey, involving 71 participants, was conducted at the top five construction companies in Ottawa, as ranked by the Ottawa Chamber of Commerce and Industry. To analyze the data, the researchers employed an empirical quantitative approach. The results indicate that the idealized influence trait showed the strongest correlation, with a value of = .737 > 0.01, demonstrating a significant positive relationship between idealized influence and leadership efficacy.
