Abstract

Leadership is an essential antecedent to talent development and engagement, but there is a dearth of literature related to transactional or transformational leadership and talent management (TM). The paper investigates the impact of transactional and transformational leadership on talent engagement and the mediating role of talent development between them. Based on a cross-sectional survey of 450 employees, the study employs structural equation modeling using social exchange theory as a lens to test the hypothesized relationship among transactional leadership, transformational leadership, talent development and engagement. The results confirmed that transactional leadership is positively related to talent engagement and development while transformational leadership is neither associated with talent engagement nor talent development. Moreover, talent development mediates the relationship between transactional leadership and talent engagement. The study outcomes are helpful to managers and leaders in comprehending the significance of transactional leadership in developing and engaging talents.

交易型和变革型领导对人才参与的影响：人才发展的中介作用

领导力是人才发展和参与的必要前提，但缺乏与交易型或变革型领导力和人才管理(TM)相关的文献。本文研究了交易型领导和变革型领导对人才敬业度的影响，以及人才发展在两者之间的中介作用。本研究基于对450名员工的横断面调查，采用结构方程模型，以社会交换理论为视角，检验交易型领导、变革型领导、人才发展和敬业度之间的假设关系。结果证实，交易型领导与人才敬业度和人才发展呈正相关，而变革型领导与人才敬业度和人才发展无关。此外，人才发展在交易型领导与人才敬业度之间起到中介作用。研究结果有助于管理者和领导者理解交易型领导在开发和吸引人才方面的重要意义。

期刊介绍： For leaders and managers in an increasingly globalized world, Global Business and Organizational Excellence (GBOE) offers first-hand case studies of best practices of people in organizations meeting varied challenges of competitiveness, as well as perspectives on strategies, techniques, and knowledge that help such people lead their organizations to excel. GBOE provides its readers with unique insights into how organizations are achieving competitive advantage through transformational leadership--at the top, and in various functions that make up the whole. The focus is always on the people -- how to coordinate, communicate among, organize, reward, teach, learn from, and inspire people who make the important things happen.
