The Impact of Transformational Leadership Styles on Task Performance and Psychological Capital: a Study on College Teachers in China

Open access
This research aims to investigate Transformational leadership styles, task performance and psychological capital in a college based on Shaanxi province. The study will include three variables: transformational leadership, task performance, and psychological capital. We hypothesized that different leadership styles would have a diverse effect on the task performance and psychological capital of teachers. The research was conducted using three different questionnaires on a specific population sample. Participants were from a vocational college in Shaanxi province and they completed the questionnaires on transformational leadership, task performance and psychological capital. Results indicated that transformational leadership can impact task performance and psychological capital, but not what kind of effect leadership has. Therefore, we will also explore the relationship between transformational leadership styles, task performance and psychological capital. Using correlation analysis of SPSS, results show that leadership style has a positive correlation with task performance, psychological capital. Psychological capital has mediated effect between transformational leadership and task performance. Overall, this study contributes to our understanding of the effect of leadership styles on task performance and psychological capital in the context of China.
