Abstract
Transformational leadership is a widely studied concept in the field of
organizational behaviour, with a focus on understanding how leaders influence
and inspire their followers to achieve high levels of performance. In recent
years, there has been an increasing interest in examining how transformational
leadership impacts employee perception of performance management and motivation
in India, given its unique cultural and economic background. This abstract aims
to provide an overview of the current literature on this topic and identify
gaps for future research. Firstly, it is essential to understand that
transformational leadership is characterized by four distinct components -
idealized influence, inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation, and
individual consideration. These behaviours have been found to positively impact
employee job satisfaction, commitment towards the organization and their work,
as well as overall performance outcomes. However, these findings are mostly
based on studies conducted in Western cultures such as the USA or Europe. In
contrast, India presents a significantly different cultural context with
collectivism being deeply embedded within societal practices. Furthermore,
power distance is relatively high in Indian organizations where hierarchy plays
a significant role in decision making processes.
