Abstract

PurposeThe study aims to investigate the roles of trust and team cohesiveness as mediating variables to transmit the effect of transformational leadership dimensions on job satisfaction.Design/methodology/approachThe study employs a quantitative approach with 405 respondents as the samples. The respondents are teachers and staff of schools in East Java, Indonesia. The data are analyzed using partial least square (PLS).FindingsTrust and team cohesiveness fully mediate the relationship between idealized influences on job satisfaction. Besides, idealized influence, inspirational motivation and individualized consideration directly affect job satisfaction.Research limitations/implicationsThe relationship between transformational leadership and employee job satisfaction in educational institutions has been rarely explored. The study contributes to the literature on the role of trust and team cohesiveness in transmitting the effect of transformational leadership dimensions on job satisfaction of school employees.Practical implicationsTo increase employee job satisfaction at schools, principals need to be highly concerned about trust in the leader–follower relationship. Therefore, principals are responsible for responding to the followers' needs and aspirations and caring for followers.Originality/valueThe significance of the result findings lies in the detailed model that transmits the direct and indirect effect of the transformational leadership dimensions on job satisfaction.

变革型领导与工作满意度的关系:信任和团队凝聚力的中介作用

目的探讨信任和团队凝聚力作为中介变量在变革型领导维度对工作满意度影响中的作用。设计/方法/方法本研究采用定量方法，以405名受访者为样本。受访者是印度尼西亚东爪哇省学校的教师和工作人员。使用偏最小二乘(PLS)对数据进行分析。发现信任和团队凝聚力在理想化影响对工作满意度的影响中起中介作用。此外，理想化影响、励志激励和个性化考虑直接影响工作满意度。研究局限/启示教育机构变革型领导与员工工作满意度之间的关系研究很少。本研究补充了信任和团队凝聚力在传递变革型领导维度对学校员工工作满意度影响中的作用。为了提高学校员工的工作满意度，校长需要高度关注领导-追随者关系中的信任。因此，校长有责任回应追随者的需求和愿望，并关心追随者。独创性/价值结果发现的意义在于详细的模型传递了变革型领导维度对工作满意度的直接和间接影响。
