Can transformational leadership be an effective way to retain employees? : A quantitative study of transformational leadership and affective commitment (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: En utmaning som dagens organisationer ställs inför är att behålla sina kompetenta medarbetare och få dem att känna anknytning. Chefers bemötande påverkar relationen till medarbetarna, vilket gör att val av ledarskapsstil kan inverka på anställdas prestationer. Transformativt ledarskap kan förstärka relationerna mellan chefen och kollegorna sinsemellan, vilket således kan påverka den emotionella anknytningen som medarbetaren har till organisationen.

Syfte: Syftet med studien är att undersöka huruvida det finns ett positivt samband mellan transformativt ledarskap och affektivt engagemang. Det görs för att hitta ett effektivt sätt att behålla kompetenta medarbetare. Förhoppningen är att studien ska bidra med en förstärkt bild av tidigare forskning genom att undersöka en ny bransch.

Metod: För att kunna besvara syftet så användes en kvantitativ metod. Totalt deltog 41 respondenter från fyra olika organisationer i en enkätundersökning.

Slutsats: Resultatet av studien kunde påvisa att det finns ett positivt samband mellan transformativt ledarskap och affektivt engagemang. Således kan studien förstärka tidigare forsknings resonemang att transformativt ledarskap kan vara bidragande till att förbättra det affektiva engagemanget även ur den kontext som undersökts.

Abstract [en]

Background: One challenge that today's organizations face is to retain their competent employees and make them feel committed. Managers' attitudes affect the relationship with employees, which means that choosing a leadership style can affect employees' performance. Transformative leadership can strengthen the relationships between the manager and colleagues among themselves, which can affect the emotional connection that the employee has to the organization.

Purpose: The study aims to investigate whether there is a positive relationship between transformational leadership and affective commitment. This is done to find an effective way to retain employees. The hope is that the study will contribute to a strengthened picture of previous research by investigating a new industry.

Method: To be able to answer the purpose, a quantitative method was used. A total of 41 respondents from four different organizations participated in a survey.

Conclusion: The results of the study were able to demonstrate that there is a positive relationship between transformational leadership and affective commitment. Thus, the study may reinforce previous research's reasoning that transformative leadership can be contributing to improving affective commitment even from the context examined.
