The Effect of Transformational Leadership on Self- Efficacy and Organizational Commitment: Focused on Moderating Effect of Gender and Position

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to find relationship between transformational leadership and self-efficacy and organizational commitment and to verify a role of gender and position of organization members as moderators. To conduct this study, a survey of 261 office workers in the metropolitan area was conducted. The empirical analysis results are as follows. First, while inspiration, individual consideration, and intellectual stimulation leadership have a significant positive effect on both self-efficacy and organizational commitment, but charisma leadership does not have. Second, gender has a positive moderating effect between intellectual and inspiration leadership and a negative moderating effect between charisma leadership and self-efficacy. For organizational commitment, gender has a significant positive role as a moderator on inspiration leadership. Third, while there is no moderating effect of position on self-efficacy but there is a positive moderating effect between charisma leadership and organizational commitment, and a negative moderating effect on individual consideration leadership.
