Why is it important?

With the presence of transformational leadership, employee performance is above average. Overall, scores in transformational leadership style were found to be strongly correlated with both measures of employee performance (quality and productivity) and overall performance too. The findings conclude that in the Sri Lankan banking sector, quality and productive employee performance can be achieved mostly through transformational leadership orientations, but transactional leadership also produces better performance. With these findings, it further gives emphasis to the followers’ aspirations about their leaders. Banking staff like bank tellers, customer care staff, back-office staff, credit officers, and relationship officers are able to work with either type of leader. Nevertheless, transformational leaders have more capacity to have an effect on their followers for better performance.
