TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERSHIP AND ORGANIZATIONAL COMMITMENT”, MEDIATING ROLE OF PSYCHOLOGICAL EMPOWERMENT AND MODERATING ROLE OF STRUCTURAL DISTANCE
Abstract
Using a sample of 520 staff nurses employed by a large public hospital in Singapore, we examined whether psychological empowerment mediated the effects of transformational leadership on followers’ organizational commitment. We also examined how structural distance (direct and indirect leadership) between leaders and followers moderated the relationship between transformational leadership and organizational commitment. Results from HLM analyses showed that psychological empowerment mediated the relationship between transformational leadership and organizational commitment. Similarly, structural distance between the leader and follower moderated the relationship between transformational leadership and organizational commitment. Implications for research and practice of our findings are discussed.
