Abstract

 

The effect of leadership on the performance and productivity of employees is well-researched. Several studies have discovered types of leadership that have positive or negative outcomes when it comes to employee or subordinate performance. This article furthers the integration of leadership theory by testing the influence of both transformational and transactional leadership on employee’s performance. In addition to that, job involvement is also being investigated to see how it mediates the relationship between these two leadership types and employee performance. The study has been conducted in the health sector with the help of a survey questionnaire, whereby most of the respondents are physicians. Total number of valid responses received is 159. Analysis done the basis of primary data reflects that both transactional and transformational leadership are linked to employee performance, however, the magnitude of relationship is stronger in case of transformational leadership than transactional one. Job involvement is also found to be a strong mediator as far as this study is concerned.  On the basis of results obtained, recommendations are given for practitioners as well as future direction is also set for further research at the end.
