Abstract

The objective of this thesis is to analyze the impact of transactional and transformational leadership styles on job performance. This research employs questionnaire surveys and statistical analysis to examine the relationships among the three variables. The subjects of this thesis are bank employees, and the survey was conducted using a random sampling method via online questionnaires. Data was statistically analyzed using SPSS 28.0, which included frequency analysis, reliability and validity analysis, correlation analysis, and regression analysis. The findings indicate that transformational leadership can significantly enhance job performance by encouraging innovation and boosting employee morale. Conversely, transactional leadership, with its excessive emphasis on rules and procedures and a strict reward and punishment system, may limit employees' innovative capabilities and reduce their satisfaction, thus negatively affecting job performance. This thesis contributes to understanding the impact of leadership styles on organizational effectiveness, advancing leadership theories, and providing theoretical support for organizational management decisions.

본 논문의 목적은 거래적 리더십과 변혁적 리더십 유형이 직무성과에 미치는 영향을 분석하는 것이다. 본 연구는 설문조사와 통계분석을 통해 세 변인 간의 관계를 분석하였다. 연구대상은 은행직원이며, 설문조사는 온라인 설문지를 통한 임의표본추출방법으로 진행되었다. 자료는 SPSS 28.0을 사용하여 통계분석하였으며, 빈도분석, 신뢰도 및 타당도 분석, 상관관계분석, 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 연구결과는 변혁적 리더십이 혁신을 촉진하고 직원들의 사기를 진작시켜 직무성과를 유의하게 향상시킬 수 있음을 보여주었다. 반대로 거래적 리더십은 규칙과 절차를 지나치게 중시하고 상벌제도가 엄격하여 직원들의 혁신역량을 제한하고 직원들의 만족도를 떨어뜨려 직무성과에 부정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 본 논문은 리더십 유형이 조직 유효성에 미치는 영향을 파악하고, 리더십 이론을 발전시키며, 조직의 경영의사결정에 이론적인 논거를 제공하는데 그 의의가 있겠다.
