The Effect of the Dimensions of Transformational Leadership on Turnover Intention After Controlling for Work

The Effect of the Dimensions of Transformational Leadership on Turnover Intention After Controlling for Work–Nonwork Conflict and Satisfaction With Quality of Work

Matthew Thrift | 2024

Abstract

The research study examined the relationship between the dimensions of transformational leadership and turnover intention after controlling for satisfaction with quality of work, job–marriage conflict, job–parent conflict, job–leisure conflict, and job–home management conflict. One hundred thirty-two United States service industry workers were surveyed. A hierarchical multiple liner regression tested the data to determine if the models, including the dimensions of transformational leadership, were more effective predictors of turnover intention than those with only the control variables. The study determined dimensions of transformational leadership were not significant predictors of turnover intention after applying the control variables. The models including the independent variables of transformational leadership dimensions were not more effective predictors of turnover intention than those with only the control variables. Job–leisure conflict and satisfaction with quality of work were found to be statistically significant predictors of turnover intention in all the models tested. The research concluded with an examination of the significance of the findings, theoretical and practical implications of the findings, and recommendations for future research.
