The Transformational Leadership, Company Size and Employees’ Job Satisfaction

Abstract

Background: The socio-economic development of the last 20 years in Kosovo has been associated with different models of company organizations, and, as a result, new leadership experiences are expected to be reflected in the job satisfaction of employees and, consequently, in their productivity.

Objective: This paper examines the correlation between transformational leadership, company size and employees’ job satisfaction, focusing on Kosovo case corporations and businesses.

Methods: The methodology used to develop the analyses was a quantitative one. A questionnaire was delivered to 11 companies of small, medium and big size in Kosovo. A number of 338 employees participated in the research (n=338).

Results: The research shows a strong positive relation between transformational leadership and employees’ job satisfaction, but the company size does not show a statistical significance in relation to transformational leadership and employees’ job satisfaction as well.

Conclusion: This paper sheds light on how to strengthen the importance of leadership training and its formation according to the transformational style, to provide high levels of employees’ job satisfaction, and consequently high levels of productivity. There are a few studies focused on transformational leadership, company size and job satisfaction in Kosovo. This study opens the possibility for other studies to further explore the influence of different variables on job satisfaction and transformational leadership.
