Transformational Leadership and Organizational Climate: what do teachers think?

The relationship between transformational leadership (TL) of managers and perceptions of organizational climate (CLIMOR) in an Ecuadorian fiscal educational institution was analyzed. Through a descriptive correlational design, the MLQ-5X Questionnaire adapted to the Ecuadorian context and the CLIOUNing were applied to a sample of 50 teachers. Significant moderate correlations were found between the TL and CLIMOR dimensions (r= 0.39 - 0.58, p < .01). It follows from this that managers who adopt transformational behaviors contribute to the generation of organizational environments that are more favorable for educational development, with inspirational motivation and individual consideration being particularly relevant as predictors of the positive organizational climate.
