Impact of transformational leadership on equity sensitivity

Abstract

This study examines the relationship between transformational leadership factors (idealized influence, inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation and idealized consideration) and one of the factors of equity sensitivity such as benevolent. The study employed a quantitative methodology. Data were collected through a self-administered survey questionnaire. The questionnaire was adapted from a previous validated survey. The target population consisted of Government College teachers of the province of Balochistan, Pakistan. Convenience sampling was applied to collect data. A total of 340 questionnaires were distributed. Of these, 280 responses were received. However, 267 questionnaires were finally considered as useable. The results of regression analysis indicated that, transformational leadership has significant positive impact upon benevolent. This study suggests that educational institutions and other organizations should consider benevolence as an important element of teachers/employees selection tests.
