Dynamics of Transformational Leadership and Its Effects on Organizational Culture and Organizational Effectiveness of Academic Institution: A Structural Equation Modeling Approach

This study employs Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to explore the dynamics of transformational leadership and its effect on organizational culture and organizational effectiveness of an academic institution.This study utilizes a survey of 195 academic leaders and faculty members of University X in Cebu City, Philippines to analyze the relationships among leadership, culture, and effectiveness using Structural Equation Model (SEM) Jeffrey's Amazing Statistics Program (JASP) software.Sample selection was carried out by convenience sampling and the hypothesis in this study was tested using the Unweighted Least Squares (ULS) method.Results indicate that transformational leadership, organizational culture, and effectiveness are accurately measurable, with strong model stability and reliability.The results showed that the four components of transformational leadership (inspirational motivation, individual consideration, idealized influence, and intellectual stimulation) partake an excellent fit and substantial interactive upshot on organizational culture.The findings reveal also that transformational leadership influences organizational effectiveness indirectly through its positive impact on organizational culture, highlighting the critical role of a robust culture in maximizing leadership benefits and improving overall performance.
