Abstract

The transformational leadership style will be helpful for enhancing employees’ commitment, involvement, and satisfaction with the job. Researches advocate that there is a strong need for a more extensive and empirical investigation of the reciprocal relationship between transformational leadership and job satisfaction in the banking sector. This study examined the differences between the perceived level of transformational leadership and job satisfaction of both public and private sector banking personnel. This study also examined the relationship between transformational leadership and job satisfaction for both types of banking personnel. The purposive sampling technique was used, and the sample was comprised of 235 banking personnel of both public and private sector banks in Uttar Pradesh, India. Data were collected through the questionnaire method, and based on the data t-test analysis found that there is a significant difference in transformational leadership and job satisfaction in both public and private sector banking personnel. Also, correlation analysis indicates that there is a significant and positive relationship between transformational leadership and job satisfaction in both types of banking personnel. Further, stepwise regression analysis shows that two dimensions of transformational leadership, namely consideration/developmental role, and motivational role, emerged as the best predictor of job satisfaction of both public and private sector banking personnel.
