Abstract

This research work examined the effectiveness of transformational leadership and also discussed some criticism and weaknesses that face transformational leadership. Transformational leadership has been found to be only theory of leadership that is multi-dimension in nature. It comprise of four major component: Idealise influence, intellectual simulation, individual consideration, inspirational motivation. It is observed that transformational leadership style cannot function effectively without the attribute of other theories.

1.Introduction


Effectiveness of leadership has become global phenomenal confronting todays’ business performance of organisations, this has prompted the idea or question of what makes a good leaders. To answer this question, many scholars have engaged in search of more information in order to identify ways, which leaders can be effective. Despite this interest in leadership, there is no generally acceptable definition of leadership, rather scholars defined leadership based on individual perceptions. Peter (2010) believed that, leadership is a process of influencing group of people to attain a specific goals. “Leadership has been defined as traits, behaviours, influence, communication style, role relationships, and occupation of an administrative position”(Gary, 2013).

Leadership is the act or process of an individual to influence, organise, direct, and control the behaviour of a specific group of people toward the achievement of organisational goals (Dinh, Lord, Gardner, Meuser, Liden & Hu, 2014). This implies that, leadership comprises of shared influence process in which a leader directs behaviours of people towards certain goals (Tourish,2014). However, Joyce (2015) defined leadership as a process whereby deliberate influence is utilised to guide, structure and foster behaviours and relationships of  group of the people to achieve a common goals.

Even with number of ways in which this concept has been conceptualised, Northouse(2013) the following components can be seen as major phenomenon such as: Leadership as a process; means  that leader is not a trait but a process it can be affects and is influenced by subordinate, Leadership engages influence; this explicit how leader affects followers, note influence is the important of leadership, without it leadership cannot be effective, Leadership happen in a group; Groups is a setting in which leadership occur, and Leadership entail common goals; main role of leadership is the act of influencing group of people to achieve common goals.

 Furthermore, Alberto (2016) argued that, “world of leadership theories seems very confusing and complicated” due to introduction of new theories nearly every year, and it is generating more problematic to understand clear picture of leadership theories. Though, leadership theories can be categorised as; theories oriented to the leader as individual and theories oriented to the relations between leader and followers (Alberto et al, 2015).

 

 


Trait Theories: An implicit idea of this theory is that leaders are potentially born and it stresses that people with potential qualities are qualified to be leaders. It is also known as great man theory in the early 20th century. This theory believes that specific innate traits are collective to leaders (Colbert, Judge, Choi & Wang,2012). Shriberg and Shriberg (2011), in their book described several qualities of trait theory such; Intelligence, self-confidence, determination, Integrity and sociability etc. Thus, this theory is not effective in today challenging organisation but some of it qualities are still needed in organisation.

Behavioural Theory: This theory is on belief that good leaders are made, not born. It also concentrates on the actions of individuals not on personality qualities or internal  statuses (Amanchukwu, Stanley,& Ololube,2015). The pioneers of this theory suggested that, leadership is a process in which people undergo certain training and observation to be a great leader. Lewin and Lippit (1938) argued that, this theory represents a move from trait theory to build capabilities of individuals through behavioural change. Basically, Kurt Lewin suggested that, the most effective features that decides leaders adoption of leadership style is the need to make good decision. In 1939 he propounded three styles of leadership, eg 
Autocratic Leadership: In this type of leadership, organisational leaders make decisions themselves. They do not give their followers opportunity to involve in decision-marking process. This leaders are task-oriented. their major aims is to achieve organisational goals.
Democratic or Participative Leadership: This style of leadership allows followers to participate in organisational decision-making. Leaders perform an active role in the decision-making, on that note they values follower ideas for the success of a group. Democratic leaders can also categories as relationship-oriented leader.
Laissez-fair Leadership: Leaders do not participate in decision-making process, he or she allow followers to do whatever they know. This kind of leadership style is applicable especially when followers are competence and motivated to perform their duty. Note Kurt Lewin's leadership styles are under behavioural theory.

Contingency Theory: Fiedler contingency theory explicit that successful leadership does not only depends on the leadership style but on the ability of a leader to manage over a specific situation. Specific behaviour does not decide effective leadership, hence leadership style should be suitable to the condition (Fiedler, 1954). Mary, Ronald, Kevin & Melissa, (2014) supported this view, stated that leaders are required to engage followers in decision-making processes, but it depends on certain circumstances.

1.2. Theories Oriented to the Relationship Between Leader and Followers.


Transformational Leadership: This theory was propounded by Burns in 1978, he described leadership as transactional and transformational but he underlined transformational theory as the most relevant leadership approach (Avolio,& Yammarino,2013). According to Banks, McCauley, Gardner & Guler (2016), it explains how leaders solicit to attain higher order desires of subordinates. Transformational leadership characteristic comprises of employee-oriented element, which includes charismatic, neo-charismatic, inspirational and visionary leadership (Winkler, 2009, Tyssen, Wald & Spieth, 2104). 

Servant Leadership: This theory assumed that for a leader to be effective in organisation, he must see himself as a servant leader (Greenleaf, 1977). Servant leadership means the need from leaders to motivate, direct, and generate concern by creating good relationship with followers (Liden, Wayne, Liao & Meuser,2014). According to Ehrtart (2004) there are 2 main construct of servant leader such as; ethical behaviour and concern for followers.

Shared Leadership: The founder of this theory believes that, leadership is dynamic, and it requires communicative influence process between groups in order to direct everyone to the accomplishment of both individuals and organisation missions (Pearce & Conger, 2004). In the sense that, shared leadership performance is not only based on the leader, but carried out as a teamwork role, as the team unite together toward specified objectives (Houghton, Pearce, Manz, Courtright & Stewart,2015). Having identified and briefly explained few of leadership theories. This framework will further concentrate on critical evaluation of transformational leadership approach as bellow.

 

2.Transformational Leadership Approach


The benefits of the organisation and its employees require to be aligned. Such is a functions of transformational leadership (Bass,1999). Transformational leadership “stimulate and inspire followers to extraordinary outcomes and in the process of developing their own leadership ability”(Burn,1978). Bass (1985) enhanced these assumptions into a deeper appreciation of transformational leadership and further suggested that, it is a process of changing how followers feel about themselves which in turn improve their motivation and enable them to increase performance.

 In support of this view Bass and Ronald (1999) stressed that, it assists followers to gain leadership capacity by focusing on individuals needs in empowering them by affiliating both the goals and objectives of followers, leaders and the larger organisation. Some evident in recent research have shown that, transformation leadership can motivate individual to perform more than expected and as well result to higher commitment to group and organisation.

Moreover, Burns conceptualised leadership as either transactional or transformational. Transactional leader is the one who “lead through social exchange” (Bass et al, 1995). Transactional leadership focused on a leader-follower exchange relationship, where the follower is rewarded in return for fulfilment with leader’s anticipation (Girma,2016). For instance, politicians lead by exchanging one thing for another: employments for votes. Equal to business leaders, as they offer financial rewards for work well done and punishment for unproductivity (Afsar, Badir, Saeed & Hafeez,2017). Its main objectives is to attain organisational goals through exchange of services of each subordinate.

It also consists of constitutive sub-dimension, which includes: contingent reward, management by exception and laissez-fair. “The level of effectiveness of these behaviours is linked to the level of passivity and therefore the dimension associated with transformational leadership are seen as the most effective, followed by those associated with transactional leadership” (Doris et al,2014). But the last dimension is being as the most inactive behaviour of transactional leadership.

Although, more evidence has accumulated that most researchers have graded transformational leadership higher than other leadership approaches. Due to its positive impact in both followers and organisational performance (Birasnav,2014). Transformational leadership evoke change in followers values system to match them with organisational objectives (Clarke 2013, Goh 2017). In addition to this, empirical evident of Adriani, Budi & Sutristno (2015) has confirmed that, “there is direct effect of the positive and significant correlation between transformational leadership on employee’s working performance”.

Transformational leadership does not only promote employees performance but also justify how change is executed within organisation (Robin, 2017). Robin et al (2017) fortified this trend, by concluding in his framework that, transformational leaders accomplish stated objectives by formulating a vision, encourage the recognition of group targets, and offering individualised support. This seems to be clear evidence that, it focuses on what leaders achieve, instead of personal attributes and subordinate’s reactions (Robert2001). This also align with what, Bass et al (1999) argued in their book that, transformational leaders motivate subordinates to act further than expected. Ideally, performance is achieved by transformational leaders as they often set more challenging goals to followers.

However, transformational leadership engages followers to shared vision and make them more innovative problem solvers, enhancing followers leadership ability through monitoring and as well generating both challenge and support ( Bass, Avolio, Jung & Berson, 2003, Bass & Riggio 2006).  The findings of Gumusluoglu & IIsev, (2009) resulted that, transformational leadership has imperative effect on creativity at both the individual and organisation levels. In the light of this it has great and direct effect on knowledge management process and organisational operation (Birasnav, 2014).

Advance social science believed that, leadership focused on the different directive like: task oriented and relationship oriented. Whereas “transformational leadership can be directive or participative not and either or proposition” (Bass et al, 2006). Although “transformational leadership has much in common with charismatic leadership but charismatic leadership is only part of transformational leadership”(Jay & Rabindra, 1998). David (2009) articulated that, charismatic leadership is the capacity of a leader to control followers with kind of supernatural gift and attractive power. Leadership researchers who examined charismatic leadership identified that, it is based on individual characteristic not a single trait (Gebert, Heinitz, & Buengeler, 2016). 

The augment proceed as Haroro (2016) confirmed that, charismatic leadership, is not a process or by experience. That is to agreed that, charisma is attribute few leader possess. Bass and his group concluded that, “charismatic leaders who use their abilities to inspire and lead followers to destructive, selfish and even evil ends”. For instance Aldolf Hitler, Pol Pot, Josef Stalin and Osama Bin Laden. “These leaders are those who can be called pseudo transformational” (Bass et al, 2006). This implies that, they acquired many features of transformational leadership specifically personal,  and exploitative purposes. Practically, in the organisational context transformational leaders foster followers creativity, mediated through their creative self-efficacy (Mittal & Dhar, 2015). It also thrives in the period of uncertainty, which is important to temporary organisations (Tyssen et al,2014).

Additionally, assessment that was vital to transformational leadership was put into practice by Podsakoff, Mackenzie, Moorman & Fetter(1990) using transformational leadership inventory. According to them, transformational leadership is the only theory that was multi-dimensional in nature. These findings aligned with Bass’s work, as they “identified and developed measures for six behaviours known to be associated with transformational leadership”(Alan, David, Keith, & Mary, 2011) which include the following:

2.1. Identifying and Articulating Vision: transformational leaders motivates followers with a shared vision for future motives (Edward,2012). In the light of this Alan et al, (2011) agreed that, the behavioural attribute of transformational leader is to identify new opportunities for followers, develop and inspire them with his idea for future.

2.2. Lead by Example: Transformational leaders control his subordinate by setting example for followers to adapt that is stable with the values his/she adopts. It was further argued that, leaders who act as a role model and whom subordinates seek to imitate, have a very great standards of behaviour, moral ideologies and ethical values (Aronson, 2001, Paul & Barbara, 2017).

2.3. Fostering the Concept of Group Goals: Teamwork is one of the major attribute of transformational leadership approach. It aims to promote collaboration among workers and get them to work as a team in order to attain a common goals (Hilen, Pfaff,& Hammer, 2017). Research has indeed indicated that, transformational leadership has impacted group creativity mostly through its effect on team knowledge sharing (Dong, Bartol, Zhang & Li, 2017).

2.4. High Performance Expectation: Alan et at (2011) stressed that, transformational leaders demonstrate high expectations for excellence and quality on part of workers. This assumption stipulates that, the actions of transforming leaders have positive influence on staffs working performance, job satisfaction and feelings of trust and respect to leader (Montano, Reeske, Franke & Huffmeier,2017).

2.5. Providing Individualised Support: This behaviour, shows that transformational leaders respect individual feelings and difference. It does not only have direct impact on organisation but as well affects worker in organisation on individual feeling, they show concern and empower staff in the organisation (Martin, 2017).

2.6. Intellectual Challenging: “it challenges followers to re-examine some of their assumption about their work and rethink how it can be performed”(Podsakoff et al, 1990, Alan et al, 2011).

Edward (2012) concluded that, when these behaviours explored by transformational leaders, subordinate will observe that their interests are fundamental and that the organisation relied not only their bodies but also minds and skills. In fact, this improves followers motivation to an extent of self-actualise, as they recognise their desires for recognition and gratitude as individuals come first. “Charismatic leader similar to transformational leaders, could participate in deceptive practices of transformational leadership, but with different motives (Edward, 2012).

According to Weber (1968), followers of charismatic leader freely place their future on their leader’s hands and support his mission. He concluded that, the core of charisma is an emotional appeal whose behaviours is revolutionary. Consequently, transformational leadership behaviours varies depending on the nature of jobs requirement(Breevaart & Bakker, 2017). Notwithstanding, Dvir, Avolio & Shamir(2002) tested the impact of transformational leadership follower development and performance, using a sample of 54 military leaders and their 90 followers. The findings indicate “the leaders in transformational leadership training group had more positive impact on direct follower’s development. It seems to be obvious that, transforming leadership concerned on transcendent and far-reaching objectives. This creates high effect on followers and collectives, rather than transactional style (Burns, 1978).

Bruce,& Avolio (2013) argued that, transformational style can be practiced as a groundwork to integrate other leadership styles. In addition, Burns stated in his 1st edition book that transformational leaders create awareness of moral and ethical effects to followers, as well inspire them to transcend their personal interest for that of higher good. Extending this view Bass (1985) documented that, transformational leadership act as change agent by awakening and transforming subordinates behaviour, confidence and aims from lower to higher degree of arousal. In contrast, transactional leaders specified role and task demand with direct and indirect reward contingent on successful  performance (Bruce et al,2013).

Though, in comparison to Burns, Bass debated that, transactional style is a crucial necessity for effective leadership and leaders required to display both transformational and transactional leadership characteristics to specific level (Bruce et al,2013). Yet “Transformational theory yields superior performance when augmenting transactional leadership, referred to as augmentation hypothesis”(Bass,1985). Bass (1998) and Bruce & Avolio (2013), identified the different components of transformational leadership. The four components which Avolio and his group known as “a higher order construct of transformational leadership include the following”:

3. Components of Transformational Leadership


3.1. Idealised Influence: Transformational leaders are cherished, reliable and respected. Their followers recognised with and desire to be like them(Bass et al, 2003). Findings from empirical study have confirmed that, these leaders attract their subordinates by considering their needs over his/her own needs (Aga, Noorderhaven & Vallejo, 2016). This assumes that, leaders who have great impact of “idealised Influence are able to take risk and are dependable rather than arbitrary (Ling & Ling,2016). Consequently, results from survey research  based on conceptual framework on transformational leadership and worker commitment, indicates the importance for leadership development of organisational leaders to assimilate transformational leadership attributes that are essential in changing staffs’ behaviour and enhancing their commitment (Ling et al,2016).

3.2. Inspirational Motivation: Organisational leaders with inspirational motivation support teamwork to attain goals of improved revenue and market increase for his organisation. This was validated as Gibert, Horsman & Kelloway(2016) identified in their project that,  team building contributed to the effect of transformational leadership on project success. Importantly, transformational leadership develop and communicate appealing vision with “symbols and images” to concentrates the efforts of followers that are considered suitable (Samson,2016-p38). These leaders act in a way that motivate and inspire his or her subordinates by presenting meaning and challenges at work (Doris & Gareth, 2014).

3.3. Individual Consideration:  According to Doris et al (2014) transformational leaders show special concern to each worker’s wants for accomplishment and growth by behaving as a mentor. With practical evident that support this fact, John, Shannon, Allen & Kepner (2016) stated that, organisational leaders with individual consideration support associates to achieve objectives that assist both groups and organisation. This action is carried out by recognising individuals basic needs and desires. Thus, transformational leaders behaviours display “acceptance of individual difference”(Ling et al,2016). Recent research has identified that, transformational and consideration style are both suggested to be incorporated into management couching and development programme (Warit, Kriengsak, Rodney, 2017).

3.4. Intellectual Stimulation: According to Doris et al (2014) transformational leaders lead to encourage innovation and creativity by involving followers in challenging activities that would stimulate new ideas and solve problem. These leaders motivate their followers to try new methods without criticising their ideas even if  they are different from  the leaders’ ideas. Similarly, this approach empirically confirmed by researchers that, it boost fresh knowledge and operate by inspiring followers with self-sufficiency and decision for innovation to occur (Wait et al, 2017).

Therefore, each of the component stated above illustrates features that are vital to the transformational practice. John et al (2016), argued that, managers who are great “role model” supporters, innovators, instructors are those who are using full components to assist transform their organisation for a better, efficient and effective performance. Though one of the most imperative version that provides the most research is the full types of leadership model (Bass et al,2003 & Avolio et al, 2013). This encompasses the dimensions such as: laissez-fair, transactional and transformational leadership. Furthermore, Bass(1999) believed that each of these dimensions are part of four components of transformational style.

Drawing back to original distinctions by Burns’ conceptual meaning of transactional and transformational  leadership, is represented on the belief that, a leaders could be either transactional or transformational. Perhaps Bass conceptualised that, the two models could operate either together or separately (Marian, & Christopher,2014). Moreover, adopting both styles of leadership, from practical viewpoint leaders influence organisational effectiveness through activities that involve the internal and external organisational context (Morgeson, DeRue & Karem, 2010, Antonakis, & House,2014). In spite of that, transformational style absorbs a social exchange that is unusual from “any material or economic exchange involved in transactional leadership” (zhu, & Akhtar,2014).

In order to measure transformational and transactional behaviour Bass established MLQ. The influence of transformational style and the connection between transformational and transactional leadership was investigated (Maria,2014). Transformational theory was evaluated using inspiration, intellectual and individual consideration.  On the other hand, transactional was examined by contingent reward, management by exception (Muenjohn, & Armstrong,2015). According to Maria (2014) it resulted that, both leadership styles have a strong direct relationship, arguing that, these styles of leadership should not be seen as “independent variables”. “Transformational was found to have direct effect on organisation while workers were influenced directly and positively by transactional style”. In sense that, transformational leadership cannot be more effective in organisation without the attribute of transactional leadership. In the light of this, it is essential to draw some focus on the criticisms that has been faced by this theory.

4. Criticism/Weaknesses of Transformational Leadership Theory


Findings from scholars have indicated that transformational leadership has positively affected organisational performance, enhanced its work productivity, and creativities. Due to uncertainty of today’s business environment, transformational seems to be the kind of leaders that is required for an organisation to succeed. But the possibility of getting these types of leaders who know everything is rare. It is very difficult to be educated or trained as a transformational leader, as its components are extremely comprehensive (David,2009). This is because, the dynamic charismatic components of the transformational leadership are complex to conceptualise and determine (Northouse,2010). For example, charismatic leadership has been demonstrated by examples of charismatic leader in term of process but changes that occur among charismatic leaders and its followers are not clarify. Also, Norethouse (2013) stated that, transformational approach comprise series of activities and features such like: “creating a vision, motivating, being a changes agent, building trust, and giving” nurturance; it is hard to clarify exactly the limits of transformational leadership.

Moreover, insufficient identification of negative impact, has been the major weakness of this theory because it does not provide any midst for criticism of itself. In essence of that Kathryn(2011) stated that, “there is no explicit part of transformational theory that identifies a situation where its attributes is detrimental”. For instance, the functions of leadership in improving motivation and operation can be unfair towards organisation at expensive of workers (Kathryn,2011). Furthermore, Bass argued that, transformational leaders could be in two fold as: transactional concentrate more on organisational management than to  leadership, whereas transformational “over-emphasis the role of the leader in the change process”(Roger,2011). In fact, focusing on transformational theory without transactional part is too narrow.

In spite of this criticism, nowadays  organisations are in a continuous  change process in order to meet competitive advantages. Therefore, transformational style seems to be more essential leadership than other theories (Frank & Jeffrey,2009). Empirically Bombers, Rich & Robin (2005) identified that, “long-term social networks influence within organisations” are better improved for transformational leadership than other theories. Though, it could be the reason why, transformational leaders may be more appropriate at organisational change process, since massive change demand extremely support from individuals staffs (Frank,et al,2009).

Additionally, since transformational leadership is merely focused with changing organisations, including employees values and taking them to a new vision. Nevertheless, who will ascertain if the new directions are suitable, more efficient and effectively to the proposed organisation (Northhouse, 2011). This is because there is no assumption that every transformational leaders will know the most effective way of changing organisational , neither peoples’ values.

Moreover, literature has explained some assumption that, charismatic and transformational leadership are seen as ideals of effective leadership but there are series of evident that charismatic leaders who are “dictators, despots, and head of dangerous and deadly cults” (David,2014). This on other hand, represent transformational theory as “pseudo-transformational leaders”. Certainly, this prompted the introduction of authentic leadership, Avolio & Gardner, (2005) and David, (2014) in order to concentrate on only positive “forms of leadership”. In the light of this trend, it is obvious that, theory and investigation on both charismatic and transformational leadership require to clearly explain and differentiate the positive and negative forms of transformational style.

Finally, one of most important criticism of transformational leadership is that leaders fail to admit the reciprocal impact of the “follower-leader-relationship or the concept of shared leadership” (Skipton, Rachel, Arthur, Jonathan, & John  2016). Present studies states that, this theory is connected with “contingent reward” (Knippenbery & Sitkin, 2013, Skipton et al, 2017). In order to fortified this, Menon (2014) argued that MLQ model “was the one in which contingent reward was loaded on the transformational factor, or on the transactional”. This consequently, presents the fact that, transformational leadership is highly correlated with other theories of leadership like: “participative leadership, ethical leadership, and leader member and as well exchange” (Skipton et al, 2017). That is why, Yuki (2013) advocated that, all transformational leadership behaviour involves distinct dimension, which makes its meaning ambiguous.

5. Conclusion


Transformational leadership has been described as the central and most influential leadership theory in the context of organisational sectors. It concentrates on motivating and inspiring employees to commit and prompt them  to a shared vision and goals for an organisation as well fostering them to be more innovative. Transformational leadership prompt followers to identify the vital and value of their work and make to transcend personal interest to organisational goals. It improves workers knowledge and confidence in order to be competent to their responsibility. It also generate support and encourage its followers to maintain enthusiasm and effort to control difficult situation.

Originally, formulation of this theory is categorised into two: Transactional leadership,  defines leadership as exchange process, for example “honesty, fairness, responsibility and reciprocity”. It is on believed that this styles can be used together or separately. Bass and his group formulated three “component dimension-transformational leadership, transactional leadership and laissez-fair”. They are on the assumption that each of these components is on sub-dimension of transformational leadership: charisma or idealise influence, inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulate and individual consideration. Whereas, transactional style has sub-dimension as: contingent reward, management by exception and laissez-fair.

The aforementioned illustrates  transformational theory as a body including all the leadership approaches which are uncertain to explicit its parameters. Having said that, it also draws back to “trait theory" which comprises certain qualities as transformational style. Furthermore, the outcome of this research has created a clear picture that there is no generally acceptable theory that can effectively control organisational circumstance. Therefore, it is imperative for any specific leader to be flexible: in the sense that, be able to identify his or her present situation in order to determine the leadership principle to adopt: contingence, trait, behavioural and participative leadership etc. Can be appropriated in organisation .

For instance, transformational theory can be used to train new employees during recruitment, selection and promotion of staff. Can be applicable in organisational change process. Note change is inevitable, so as human being cannot be predicted. In that sense leaders should always match his or her leadership theory to the situation in which they found themselves.
