Transformational leadership, justice perceptions and follower outcomes.

Abstract

This study examined the association between transformational leadership and follower outcomes as followers’ performance and loyalty, mediated through interactional justice. A cross-sectional research design was conducted, and some of the analysis consisted of mediation regression tests, full structural equation model and confirmatory factor analysis. The study was conducted on a group level, using a sample of 45 leaders and 169 followers in a municipality in Norway. The findings supported our hypothesis, leading to a suggestion that transformational leadership is positively associated with interactional justice and loyalty, when mediated through interactional justice. This study contributes to the research field by extending our knowledge within the concept of transformational leadership and follower outcomes, whilst serving as a foundation for further research.
