Building Organizational Commitment Through Transformational Leadership and Organizational Culture in the Public Service

Abstract

This study examines how to build individual employee commitment to organizations through organizational culture and transformative leadership. The purpose of the research is to conduct an in-depth study of organizations in the public sector, to further demonstrate how corporate culture and leadership styles affect organizational commitment. Quantitative methods were used to demonstrate how exogenous factors affect endogenous variables in the population and sample in government organizations. The SEM Amos analysis technique was used to analyse data from the sample of 184 central government employees and test the effect of external factors on internal factors. Findings show that transformative leadership and organizational culture both partially and simultaneously impact the increase in individual commitment to the organization. This means that when organizational culture is built by implementing a transformational leadership model, it has the potential to strengthen workers’ loyalty to the company.
