Modeling Transformational Leadership in Creating Organizational Commitment Considering Uncertainty

Abstract

Leaders, for success, need the ability to behave and choose the right and appropriate role for the situation. To achieve this, leaders require cognitive and behavioral flexibility. A leader needs the ability to understand the needs and goals of individuals and the ability to adapt their personal perspective to the group's activities. The significance of leadership in maintaining and developing organizational culture has been emphasized by successful authors. Leadership has both implicit and explicit effects on culture through language, structure, values, and behavior, operating at both group and individual levels. Bachtal suggests that leadership relationships are crucial for changing the values, beliefs, and attitudes of followers, especially considering their research on the importance of transformational leadership in highly dynamic environments. Due to the long-term psychological effects on the behavior and attitudes of followers, which create a culture that is adaptable to change, they emphasize the importance of transformational leadership in highly dynamic environments.
