Abstract

PurposeThis study aims to test the association between transformational leadership and its components and organizational development. As a second aim, this study examines the extent to which employees' maturity may mediate the link between transformational leadership and organizational development.Design/methodology/approachHypotheses were tested on a sample of 248 full-time employees (58% men, 42% women) recruited by a simple random sampling method from four Iranian public organizations. Participants were asked to complete scales on transformational leadership, organizational development, and employees' maturity.FindingsPearson correlation analysis showed a positively significant association between transformational leadership and organizational development. Furthermore, path analysis of structural equation modeling revealed that the direct effect of transformational leadership on organizational development is significant. Additionally, the analysis supported the mediating role of employees' maturity in the link between transformational leadership and organizational development.Originality/valueTransformational leaders may use the maturity of employees to increase their impact in the process of organizational development.

变革型领导与组织发展的关系:员工成熟度的中介作用检验
目的本研究旨在检验变革型领导及其组成要素与组织发展的关系。作为第二个目的,本研究考察了员工成熟度可能在多大程度上调解变革型领导与组织发展之间的联系。设计/方法/方法对248名全职员工(58%男性,42%女性)的样本进行了假设测试,这些全职员工是通过简单的随机抽样方法从四个伊朗公共组织中招募的。参与者被要求完成变革型领导、组织发展和员工成熟度的量表。通过spearson相关分析发现,变革型领导与组织发展之间存在显著正相关关系。结构方程模型的路径分析表明,变革型领导对组织发展有显著的直接影响。此外,分析还支持了员工成熟度在变革型领导与组织发展之间的中介作用。原创性/价值变革型领导者可以利用员工的成熟度来增加他们在组织发展过程中的影响力。
