Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of transformational leadership style on employee performance, considering the role of job satisfaction as a mediating variable. The research employs a quantitative approach with data analysis conducted using Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). Data were collected through a survey utilizing questionnaires distributed to 150 respondents working under transformational leadership. The findings indicate that transformational leadership style significantly affects employee performance. Job satisfaction also has a direct impact on employee performance and mediates the relationship between transformational leadership style and employee performance. This mediation effect is partial, as transformational leadership style retains a significant direct effect. The study contributes to the literature on leadership and human resource management by emphasizing the importance of job satisfaction as a mediating mechanism. Practical implications include the development of transformational leadership training programs and the enhancement of organizational strategies to support job satisfaction.
