EXAMINING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERSHIP, JOB SATISFACTION, AND ORGANIZATIONAL COMMITMENT AMONG FACULTY MEMBERS: A CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDY

Abstract

This research aims to explain role of Job Satisfaction in the relationship between dimensions of transformational leadership and organizational commitment among the faculty members in Karachi. In this regard, three separate instruments were developed for measuring dimensions of transformational leadership, job satisfaction and dimensions of organizational commitment. Once, the instruments were designed, these instruments were distributed among the faculty members working for various public and private sector universities and degree-awarding institutions of Karachi in three waves. This is done so to avoid the common method bias. It should be noted that the sample size of the study was 424. After collecting the data, three separate structural models were used to test the hypotheses. Results indicate that job satisfaction mediates the relationship between various transformational leadership and organizational commitment dimensions.
