Impacto del liderazgo transformacional en el desempeño laboral en una empresa privada de la ciudad de Quito

Abstract

The present research aims to explore the correlation between transformational leadership and job performance, using a sample population of 60 employees from a private company located in the canton of Quito, Pichincha province, Ecuador. A demographic analysis was conducted to gather data on age, gender, education level, years of service, departament area, and hierarchical level, in order to understand the organizational composition. Two instruments were applied: the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ Form 5X Short by B. Bass and B. Avolio), adapted to the organizational context by Vega and Zavala (2004), and the job performance evaluation questionnaire developed by the Universidad Autónoma de Chihuahua. Regarding the methodology, a quantitative research approach was used, with a correlational scope to study the relationship between variables, and a non-experimental design to observe the behavior of both variables without manipulation. This research seeks to provide insights into the impact of transformational leadership on job performance within the Ecuadorian organizational context, encouraging human resources and management departments in Ecuadorian companies to conduct internal studies to identify existing leadership styles and their influence on employee performance. The findings indicate that there is indeed a relationship between transformational leadership and job performance, as this leadership style positively influences both individual and collective performance, thereby contributing to the achievement of organizational goals.
