Transformational leadership and turnover: the roles of LMX and organizational commitment

Research output: Contribution to conference › Paper › peer-review

Abstract

In this study, we developed a social exchange model to explicate the psychological process in which transformational leadership influences followers¡ withdrawal cognitions and their actual turnover over a 1-year period. The model was tested using a sample of 490 full-employees from a large telecommunication company in China. Hierarchical regression results provide support for the hypothesized model whereby transformational leadership influenced followers¡ withdrawal cognitions through the differential mediating effects of leader-member exchange (LMX), organizational commitment. Logistic regression results also support the model of transformational leadership and actual turnover behavior over time. Implications of our model for theory and practice are discussed and future research directions are outlined.
