dc.description.abstractDespite their critical role in providing leadership to their congregations, many clergy in the Pentecostal Assemblies of God struggle to effectively fulfill their duties, leading to decreased member attendance, lower member participation, backsliding, and diminished outreach. Therefore, the primary objective of this study was to investigate the impact of transformational leadership and the moderating role of performance management on the clergy’s effectiveness in Pentecostal Assemblies of God in Northern and Eastern Uganda. The study was grounded in the theories of Transformational Leadership, Goal Setting, Path-Goal, and Redemptive Leadership. The study employed a convergent parallel mixed-methods design grounded in pragmatic philosophy. It sampled 311 clergy and obtained 236 participants from a population of 5,027, giving a response rate of 76%. The study employed a multistage sampling design and utilized 5-point Likert closed-ended and open-ended questionnaires to gather both quantitative and qualitative data. The quantitative data were analyzed using Stata version 18, while the qualitative data were analyzed using NVivo Version 14. The data analysis was conducted at three levels: univariate, bivariate, and multivariate. The univariate analysis comprised a frequency and percentage distribution table, the bivariate analysis included the pairwise correlation coefficient, and the multivariate analysis consisted of the hierarchical linear regression model. The pairwise correlation coefficient revealed a marginally significant positive correlation between clergy effectiveness and idealized influence, with a correlation coefficient of r = 0.3586. This suggests that idealized influence has a significant positive influence on clergy effectiveness. Individualized consideration significantly influenced clergy effectiveness, with a correlation coefficient of r=0.4766. Intellectual stimulation qualities, such as creativity, innovation, critical decision-making, abstract reasoning, and good cognitive functionality, enhance clergy effectiveness, positively influencing it as seen in the value of r = 0.3696. Lastly, inspirational motivation showed a moderately high correlation with clergy effectiveness, r=0.5037. This implies that leaders who demonstrate high levels of inspiration instigate higher clergy effectiveness. The Hierarchical linear regression model revealed that transformational leadership components account for 27% of the variation in clergy effectiveness, even in the absence of performance management factors. However, by adding a block of performance management, the coefficient of determination grew to 44%. Adding another block of background features saw the contribution grow to about 52%. This implied that performance management factors moderate the relationship between transformational leadership and clergy effectiveness by 23%.
