| description | The main purpose of this paper was to carry out an empirical research on whether transformational leadership,
in comparison to other contemporary leadership styles, contributes to higher employee satisfaction
levels. In total, 399 respondents took part in this research, which was conducted in companies in Bosnia
and Herzegovina and Germany. This was the starting point to identify the dominant leadership style in each
of the two countries. Using a nonparametric Mann-Whitney test, it was proved that there is a statistically
significant difference in employee satisfaction under transformational leadership as opposed to the transactional
and charismatic styles. After a detailed research of the literature, it became apparent that research
on this subject is scarce. Accordingly, presenting transformational leadership and its influence on employee
satisfaction was a particular challenge. |
