| Abstract [eng] |
The main objective of this paper is to identify and assess the relationships between transformational and transactional leadership styles, organisational commitment, employee motivation and telecommuting intensity. The thesis consists of 4 parts: the first part presents an analysis of the scientific literature, the second part develops a research methodology based on the conceptual model of the study, the third part analyses the data obtained in the study, and the fourth part summarises the results of the study. The paper also presents conclusions and proposals. The author carried out a quantitative study with 305 respondents. The results showed that the intensity of teleworking has an impact on the relationships between transformational leadership and intrinsic motivation and between transformational leadership and amotivation. It was also found that employee motivation and its latent factors mediate the relationship between transformational leadership and affective commitment. The effects of transformational leadership on continuous commitment are mediated by employee motivation and extrinsic motivation. The relationship between transformational leadership and normative commitment is influenced by employee motivation, intrinsic motivation and extrinsic motivation. The relationship between transactional leadership and affective, continuance and normative commitment was found to be mediated by employee motivation and extrinsic motivation. Finally, it was found that there are 2 moderated mediations in this model. The first argues that transformational leadership has a positive effect on affective commitment by mediating amotivation and moderating telecommuting intensity. The second argues that transformational leadership has a negative effect on continuous commitment by mediating amotivation and moderating telecommuting intensity. The author concludes the paper with the main aspects of the theoretical aspects of the analysed dimensions and the results of the empirical study. Suggestions are made in the light of the results of the study and recommendations are made for organisations and further research. |
