Fazal Islam , Institute of Business Administration, University of The Punjab, Lahore, PakistanAbstract
In today's dynamic and competitive business landscape, achieving organizational excellence is a paramount goal. This study investigates the intricate relationships among transformational leadership, four-dimensional commitment, job characteristics, and leadership styles to unravel the mechanisms driving organizational excellence. Utilizing a comprehensive framework, we explore how transformational leadership influences employee commitment through the mediating role of job characteristics, while also considering the moderating impact of participative and directive leadership styles. Our findings shed light on the pivotal role of leadership in shaping organizational outcomes and provide valuable insights for leaders and practitioners seeking to foster excellence within their organizations.
