Mediating Role Of Psychological Capital In The Relationship Between Transformational Leadership And Organizational Commitment

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the mediating effect of psychological capital in the relationship between transformational leadership and organizational commitment. The data were obtained from 314 faculty members affiliated with private teaching institutions in the province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. SPSS and Amos were used to operate data. The findings indicate a statistically significant correlation between transformational leadership and both organisational commitment (r= 0.172, p=0.000) and psychological capital (r= 0.292, p=0.000). Additionally, a significant association was seen between organisational commitment and psychological capital (r= 0.217, p=0.000). Psychological capital was found to play a significant partial mediating role in the relationship between transformational leadership and organizational commitment.
