Abstract

This research was carried out with the main aim of analyzing the influence that transformational leadership has on two important aspects in an organization: organizational commitment and employee job satisfaction. Transformational leadership, known for its capacity to inspire and motivate employees, is considered a key factor that can increase both organizational commitment and job satisfaction. Using a qualitative approach, this research in-depth examines how this leadership style influences employees' perceptions and attitudes towards the entity where they work. The research results confirm that transformational leadership plays a vital role in forming a stronger commitment from employees to their organization and increasing their level of satisfaction with their work. This higher organizational commitment and greater job satisfaction was further identified as having a significant contribution to improving overall organizational performance. Based on these findings, it is recommended that organizations strive to develop and maintain transformational leadership practices as a strategy to improve their internal quality, which includes increasing employee commitment and job satisfaction. The implementation of this leadership style is expected to encourage the creation of a more positive and productive work environment, which will ultimately benefit both employees and the organization as a whole.
