TRANSFORMATIONAL AND TRANSACTIONAL LEADERSHIP'S EFFECTS ON EMPLOYEES' PERFORMANCE AND MEDIATING ROLE OF JOB SATISFACTION A STUDY OF PRIVATE AND PUBLIC HOSPITALS IN KHAIRPUR, PAKISTAN

Abstract

This research study aims to demonstrate that different styles of leadership, specifically transformational and transactional, positively impact employee performance. Additionally, we sought to determine whether job satisfaction serves as a mediating factor. Data was collected from six private and public hospitals in Khairpur Mir’s. The findings demonstrate that both transactional and transformational leadership styles have a notable positive correlation with employee performance; however, the transactional leadership style exhibited a greater level of significance compared to transformational leadership. Additionally, our findings indicate that job satisfaction does not serve as a mediator in the relationship between transactional leadership and employee performance. Nevertheless, job satisfaction does correlate with employee performance and transformational leadership.
