Abstract
Purpose: This study intends to highlight the importance of Employee Commitment as a bridge between Transformational Leadership and Employee Performance in the construction companies.
Methodology: The respondents were selected randomly from the list of construction workers registered with the construction firms in Jordan. The selected respondents were given a self-administered questionnaire to attend at their own convenient time. The studies employed Structural Equation Modelling in IBM-SPSS-AMOS 24.0 to model and estimate the inter-relationships among the constructs in the study.
Result: The results showed transformational leadership has a positive and significant influence on both employee commitment and employee performance. The results also indicated that employee commitment has a positive and significant influence on employee performance. More importantly, the study found that employee commitment partially mediates the relationship between transformational leadership style and employee performance.
Applications: The results of his study highlighted the importance of employee commitment in generating their work performance, especially in the construction industry.
Novelty/Originality: At present, the study on the mediating role of employee commitment in the relationship between transformational leadership style and employee performance is limited, especially in the construction industry where the employee commitment is extremely important to ensure the project can be delivered on schedule.
