TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERSHIP LEVEL OF ASSISTANT MEDICAL OFFICER SUPERVISORS AT SELANGOR STATE SPECIALIST HOSPITAL

This study aims to evaluate the transformational leadership level of Assistant Medical Officer Supervisors at the Selangor State Specialist Hospital. Supervisor leadership is very important for Assistant Medical Officers, therefore an appropriate leadership approach is required to meet the needs of the organization. This study uses a cross-sectional survey method involving 304 respondents. Data collection was done using the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ) Instrument which measures four dimensions of transformational leadership: ideal influence, inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation, and individual influence. The study data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The results of the study show that the supervisor's transformational leadership level is good overall. Among the four dimensions, the level of inspirational motivation has the highest mean value, followed by ideal influence, intellectual stimulation, and individual influence. This reflects that the supervisor has a good ability to motivate and inspire the Assistant Medical Officers in the hospitals. The implication of this study is that although the level of transformational leadership of supervisors is at a good level, there is a need for further intervention to increase the level of leadership to a higher level. For future studies, it is recommended that studies involve more hospitals in the state of Selangor or throughout the country. This is to obtain more comprehensive data and provide a more accurate picture of transformational leadership among Assistant Medical Officer supervisors.
