Transformational Leadership and Its Effect on Employee Performance: Insights from ICICI Bank, Rajasthan

Abstract

An organization's success is not just attained through financial excellence, but also from its human resources that are 'physically' and 'psychologically' stable. To achieve this, the organization needs to sustain a harmonized work culture, which is a key aim for every company's leader. Organizations require a team of committed, competent and positive minded employees who can consistently contribute to the growth of their company in this dynamic, scenario. However, a competitive and fast paced scenario results in management not giving due consideration to understanding their employees while assessing the latter's performance. This paper study aims to evaluate the impact of transformational leadership on employee performance at ICICI Bank in Rajasthan. The main objectives are to investigate the presence and characteristics of transformational leadership styles at the functional level, specifically among bank branch and department managers/supervisors, within ICICI Bank in Rajasthan. The study examines how these leadership styles influence employee performance, motivation, and job satisfaction. Data will be collected through surveys and interviews with employees and managers, and analyzed to determine the correlation between transformational leadership practices and enhanced employee outcomes. The findings are expected to provide insights into effective leadership strategies that can improve organizational performance and employee well-being in the banking sector
