Theoretical Framework

This study is anchored to two theories pertaining leadership which are the
Contingency Theory and the Transformational Theory. The Contingency theory of
leadership Is an organizational theory proposed by the Austrian Psychologist Fred
Edward Field that Claims that there is no best way to organize a corporation, to lead
a company, or to make Decisions. Instead, the optimal course of action is contingent
(dependent) upon the internal And external situation. A contingent leader effectively
applies their own style of leadership Behavior.

Another theory related to this is the transformational leadership that was

initially Introduced by James V. Downton, the first to coin the term “Transformational
Leadership”, a Concept further developed by leadership expert and presidential
biographer James McGregor Burns. According to Burns, transformational leadership
can be seen when “Leaders and Followers make each other advance to a higher
 level of morality and Motivation”. Through the strength of their vision and personality,
transformational leaders Are able to inspire followers to change expectations,
perceptions, and motivations to work Towards common goals. Unlike in the
transactional approach, it is not based on a “give and Take” relationship, but on the
leaders personality, traits and ability to make a change through Example, articulation
of an energizing vision and challenging goals.

Transformational Leadership is a style of leadership where a leader’s works

with Subordinates to identify needed change, creating a vision to guide the change
through Inspiration and executing the change in tandem with committed members of
a group. Transformational leadership serves to enhance the motivation, morale and
job performance of Followers through a variety of mechanisms; these include
connecting the follower’s sense of Identity and self to a project and to the collective
of the organization; being a role model for Followers.

Transformational leadership model

Four main elements define the transformational leadership model and style. These
factors were developed by Bass in 1985 to help define what transformational
leadership looks like and how to be successful as this type of leader:

Idealized influence: The most important thing you can do as a transformational

leader is to lead by example. Employees will look to you as a role model for behavior
in all areas of the workplace. If you lead with authenticity, employees will pick up on
that behavior and feel inspired to maintain that high standard for performance. It’s
not about manipulating employees into working hard, it’s about leading by example
and positively influencing others through a commitment to trust, transparency, and
respect.

Intellectual stimulation: To help create change, it’s important to challenge long-

standing beliefs in the company and push the status quo by encouraging innovation,
creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving. Transformative leaders should help
employees feel comfortable exploring new ideas and opportunities that can inject
innovation into the organization. You want to establish an environment that
welcomes growth and gets everyone excited about digital transformation and other
important initiatives in the organization.

Inspirational motivation: As a transformational leader, you will need to encourage

your team to feel attached and committed to the vision of the organization. You want
to ensure employees feel as committed to these goals as you do as a leader by
giving employees a strong sense purpose, rather than attempting to motivate them
through fear.

Individual consideration: Employees need to feel a sense of independence and

ownership in the overall business goals. As a transformational leader, it’s important
to understand every employee is a unique person within the company and will have
specific needs, mentorship styles, and their own contributions to the company.
These leaders will tailor their coaching and mentorship styles to the employee and
help them reach goals both inside and outside of the organization (White,S.K, 2023)
