Abstract

Transformational leadership is a process that seeks to improve employee behaviors and behaviors by changing the mind and heart; developing insights, awareness and understanding; clarifying goals; aligning behaviors with beliefs, ethics, or values. The purpose of this study was to investigate and analyze the current state of transformational leadership in public universities. The statistical population of this study consisted of all faculty members and staff of public universities. Due to the size of the statistical population, a sample size of 358 was selected by stratified random sampling. Transformational Leadership Status Questionnaire was developed using the standard Multivariate Transformational Leadership Questionnaire (form 5X MLQ) with the dimensions of ideal influence, subjective motivation, inspirational motivation, and individual considerations. Structural validity, confirmatory factor analysis and Cronbach's alpha coefficient were used to determine the validity and reliability. Data analysis was performed by SPSS software and univariate t-test, independent t-test and ANOVA. The results of the tests showed that there is a significant difference between the average status of transformational leadership and the expected status of transformational leadership at the error level of less than one percent and with 99% confidence. Therefore, the status of transformational leadership in public universities is significant. It is rated below average.
