Abstract

This study applied transformational leadership and perspective theory to ascertain the impacts of idealized influence and inspirational motivation on organizational culture. Data were gathered from information technology firm managers in Jordan, utilizing a quantitative approach – there were three levels of managers involved. Structural equation modeling with partial least squares (PLS-SEM) was used for data analysis. The results show positive impacts of idealized influence and inspirational motivation on organizational culture. The positive impact of idealized influence and inspirational motivation on organizational performance implies that organizational culture mediates the relation between idealized influence, inspirational motivation, and organizational performance. Several interesting findings were highlighted for the Information Technology sector in Jordan. Relevant companies worldwide could peruse the findings of this study to improve their organizational culture and performance. The current study adds to the epistemology new framework covering the transformational leadership theory perception to address the factors that influence organizational performance, including the transformational leadership styles to achieve superior performance through the activation of organizational culture.
