This research examines the influence of transformational leadership and work culture on work commitment and its implications for the performance of village fund managers on Flores Island, East Nusa Tenggara. The research method used is quantitative research with an explanatory survey approach. Data was collected through interviews, observation, and questionnaires with a Likert scale. Respondents are village fund managers from 6 districts on Flores Island. Hypothesis testing was done using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with SmartPLS 3.00 software. The research results show that transformational leadership and work culture significantly influence the work commitment and performance of village fund managers. Strong transformational leadership, characterized by collaboration, honesty, and trust, encourages increased work commitment and performance of village fund managers. Meanwhile, a positive work culture based on integrity, honesty, and accountability contributes to work commitment and performance. High work commitment also positively impacts individual and group performance, increasing motivation, job satisfaction, and the ability to face challenges. Finally, improving the performance of village fund managers on Flores Island requires the development of transformational solid leadership, the formation of a positive work culture based on the values of integrity and accountability, and increasing the work commitment of individual village fund managers. It is hoped that the results of this research can improve the effectiveness of village fund management and services to the community.

Transformational leadership and organizational learning culture have become exciting topics to be explored over the last few decades. However, several previous studies have shown certain inconclusive findings regarding the link between transformational leadership and organizational learning culture. This study fills this gap by developing a clear model and aims to examine the extent of the impact of (1) transformational leadership on organizational learning culture and intrinsic work motivation, (2) intrinsic work motivation on organizational learning culture, (3) intrinsic work motivation in mediating and moderating the relationship between transformational leadership and organizational learning culture. The data of this study are collected from employees working at the community health center in Indonesia. A partial least squares (PLS) based structural equation modeling (SEM) technique is used to analyze the data by utilizing the SmartPLS 3.0 software package. First, the results concluded that transformational leadership has a significant impact on organizational learning culture and intrinsic work motivation. Second, intrinsic work motivation has a significant impact on organizational learning culture. Third, intrinsic work motivation fully mediates the relationship between transformational leadership and organizational learning culture. Also, intrinsic work motivation moderates these variables' relationships. The theoretical model of previous research on the relationship between transformational leadership and organizational learning culture with intrinsic work motivation as a mediator and moderator variable has yet to be fully developed both in public and private organizations, particularly in the health sector.

The aim study is to analyse using structural equation modelling (SEM) the impacts of transformational leadership (TFL) and organisational culture (OC) on organisational success (OS) from the hospital employees’ perspective, using SEM. Furthermore, we would like to investigate the mediating role of OC between TFL and OS. This study is a cross-sectional analytical study. Research data were collected by questionnaires from 304 hospital employees. Descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation analysis, confirmatory factor analysis and SEM were calculated using R Studio with lavaan and SemPlot packages. TFL was positively correlated with OS ( r = 0.514, p < .01), OC ( r = 0.408; p < .01) and education ( r = 0.177; p < .01). In effect on the OS model, TFL positively and significantly affected OS ( β = 0.311; p < .01) and OC ( β = 0.644; p < .001). TFL had an indirect effect on OS by the mediator role of OC ( β = 0.244; p < .05). Positive relationships were found between TFL, OC and OS. TFL had a significant direct effect on OS. TFL had an indirect effect on OS by the mediator role of OC. Although the direct effect was larger than the mediation effect, the mediation effect of OC is significant.

Leadership issues are vital to organizational success (Kumar and Kaptan, 2007). Without a strategic and effective leadership, it is difficult for the members of the organization to maintain profitability, productivity and competitive advantage (Lussier and Achua, 2007). Work commitment is important for understanding employee work behavior (Mowday et al., 1979; Meyer and Herscovitch 2001; Meyer et al. 2002). This commitment has an impact on many work-related characteristics, such as the intention to stay in the business (Porter et al. 1974; Mathieu and Zajac 1990; Meyer et al. 2002; Chew and Chan 2008), the absence (Porter et al. . 1974; Angle and Perry 1981; Meyer et al. 2002), and satisfaction (Yousef, 2000; Meyer et al., 2002; Chughtai and Zafar, 2006). The purpose of the research is to describe how leadership affects work commitment and employee effectiveness in a business. The target of the research is to examine which of the two transformational and transactional leadership styles has the most significant impact on employee engagement and employee effectiveness. In this research, an in-depth examination of the concepts of leadership, leadership style and work commitment was first conducted. The actions taken to investigate the research problem and the reasoning behind the application of specific procedures or techniques used to locate, select, process, and analyze the information used to understand the problem were then described, thus allowing the reader to critically evaluate the overall validity and reliability of the study. The interview questions were then taken and a comparison was made between the answers to give the results of the research. The results were also discussed to find homogenizations or contradictions in the existing literature review. Finally, the findings of the research were reported and suggestions for future research were made. The results showed that transformational leadership can lead to job commitment and better long-term effort, creativity and productivity of employees. On the contrary, the leadership of the transaction cannot cause a work commitment, but it is observed that on the part of the employees it can cause better results in a short period of time. Combined, transformational and transactional leadership can lead to job commitment, better results on the part of employees in the short term, and better long-term effort, creativity and productivity of employees.

This research investigates the impact of transformational leadership and organizational culture on police performance at the Aceh Tamiang Police Department. It examines whether job satisfaction mediates this relationship. The research utilizes an associative approach and involves all Aceh Tamiang Police personnel as the population. A stratified random sample of 96 personnel was selected for the study. Transformational leadership variable and organizational culture variable serve as independent variables, while police performance variable is the dependent variable. Job satisfaction acts as an intervening variable. Data analysis employs descriptive analysis and Structural Equation Modelling, with a Partial Least Squares approach. The findings demonstrate a positive effect of transformational leadership and organizational culture on police performance. This effect operates both directly and indirectly through increased job satisfaction among police officers. It means that a transformational leadership style and positive organizational culture can increase members' job satisfaction, ultimately impacting their performance. In other words, to improve the performance of police officers, efforts need to be made to increase the transformational leadership of leaders and strengthen a positive organizational culture.
