Linking Transformational Leadership and Organizational Commit- ment

Purpose: The main goal of this paper is to analyse the impacts of transformational leadership on organisational commitment. Design/methodology/approach: To this effect we developed a case study following a quantitative methodological approach. The research was conducted at the Serralves Foundation (Porto, Portugal) to empirically test the proposed research model and its hypothesis. Findings: The empirical results confirm that transformational leadership are not significantly influenced by organisational commitment. Research limitations: As the main limitation of this study we highlight the fact that it does not consider the leaders ’ perspective on their subordinates ’ behaviour. Originality/value: While previous authors have attempted to analyze certain aspects of this process (linkage between transformational leadership and organizational commit-ment), this research developed a case study that proposes an exploratory model of the themes studied in the Portuguese cultural context
