Transformational leadership is about suggesting a vision for change, motivating the

 identification motivation, external motivation, and amotivation, and the effects of these four
 types of motivation on proactive behavior and change-oriented organizational citizenship

 leadership affects these employees' behavior. In addition, This study suggests practical
