Examining the Role of Relational Identification in between the Transformational Leadership and Job Performance

Abstract

The present study focuses on the role of relational identification between transformational leadership and job performance. The model has been tested in the higher education sector. Information regarding transformational leadership and relational identification has been procured from college teachers and their performance has been judged by their respective head of the department. The data has been duly validated with the help of CFA. SEM has been used for hypotheses testing and hierarchal regression has been used to test the moderating effect of relational identification. The results indicate that transformational leadership affects the job performance. Further, relational identification act as a moderator instead of mediator in between the transformational leadership and job performance relationship. Managerial implications and scope for future research have also been discussed.
