The purpose of the present study was to examine the role of transformational leadership style in organizational commitment of employees. The sample consisted of 313 employees from different national and multinational companies located in Patiala, Chandigarh, Delhi, Gurgaon and Noida.Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (Rater form) (Bass & Avolio, 1995) and Organizational commitment Scale (Meyer and Allen, 1993) were used to gather data. It was hypothesized that transformational leadership styles [idealized influence (attributed), idealized influence (behavior), inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation and individualized consideration] would be positively correlated with organizational commitment and would significantly contribute in organizational commitment. Both Pearson product moment correlation and stepwise multiple regression analysis were used to analyze the data. The results of correlation showed that there is a positive correlation between transformational leadership style and organizational commitment. Stepwise multiple regression analysis also proved that transformational leadership style significantly contributed in organizational commitment. The findings of present study have very important implications for organizational effectiveness and employee personal growth. Training managers in various components of transformational leadership style can result in better job performance and higher levels of organizational commitment. This would further contribute in overall organizational growth.
