| dc.description.abstract | Transformational leadership has often been seen as a remedy for organizational issues as implied in current research and literature. The banking sector in Kenya, particularly the listed banks in the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE) are allegedly experiencing leadership challenges, as evidenced by high staff turnover rates and frequent mergers. The primary aim of this study was to establish the influence of transformational leadership on the organizational culture of commercial banks listed on the NSE. The specific study objectives were to assess the effect of idealized influence on organizational culture, to establish the influence of inspirational motivation and organizational culture, to examine the effects of intellectual stimulation on organizational culture and to evaluate the role of individual consideration on organizational culture of commercial banks. The research employed a positivism research philosophy and a descriptive research design. The study was guided by both Leader-Member Exchange (LMX) Theory and Schein's Theory of Organizational Culture. The target population was two hundred and sixty-four employees drawn from different commercial banks listed in the stock exchange. A sample size of one hundred and fifty-nine (159) members was chosen from different commercial banks listed under the NSE to represent the large population using stratified sampling. The study used survey questionnaires to collect primary data from sampled respondents which were then analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences. The study findings were presented in the form of percentages, tables and graphs. The study findings revealed that individually each independent variable had a positive and significant relationship with organizational culture. However, when considered jointly, their level of influence remained positive, but insignificant. Individual consideration remained positive and significant in influencing the organizational culture of commercial banks listed in the NSE. The study concludes that transformational leadership significantly enhances the organizational culture of commercial banks listed in the NSE. Bank managers and all other executives leaders should focus on providing clear goals and objectives, fostering team spirit, encouraging critical thinking, and investing in continuous training and development for all stakeholders. These actions will create a cohesive and innovative work environment, leading to improved performance and employee satisfaction. | |
