2020
Leadership has been considered as an important factor which has great influence on the performance of organizations, managers, and employees worldwide. The success of the organization depends on the efficiency of the leader to uplift individual performance. Among all other sectors banking sector is considered as backbone of the economy and contributes significantly in the growth of economic development worldwide. Therefore, the present study is called to examine the corresponding dimensions of transactional and transformational leadership styles in relation to job performance. Specifically, positive relationships were found between two dimensions of transactional leadership (contingent reward and management by exception [active]) with job performance. Conversely, the significance of relationship between management by exception (passive) and job performance was not supported. However, except intellectual stimulation, remaining four dimensions of transformational leadership styles, namely, idealized influence (attributed), idealized influence (behavior), inspirational motivation, and individualized consideration, were found positively related to job performance. Additionally, while performance appraisal politics moderated the relationship between transformational leadership style and job performance, the reverse was found for the relationship between transactional leadership style and job performance. In general, the results suggested that transformational leadership indeed plays an integral role in facilitating job performance; this relationship is strengthened in the presence of the moderating variable, performance appraisal politics.
