Abstract
The objective of this research study is to analyze the impact of ‘Intellectual Stimulation dimension of Transformational Leadership Style’ on employee job satisfaction working in one of the multinational engineering services companies in Bengaluru city. The name of the organization is withheld for the purpose of confidentiality. Transformational leadership is the innovative approach of leadership which emphasizes on personal and professional growth, encourages all employees to think creatively in developing solutions to long lasting organizational challenges. Transformational leaders play a strong role of innovator, mentor, and supporter through their four dimensions/elements of transformational leadership - Idealized Influence, Intellectual Stimulation, Inspirational Motivation, and Individualized Consideration. This study emphasizes on Intellectual Stimulation dimension of transformational leadership style. Transformational Leaders create a diverse and open environment, within which they encourage others to innovate and to form new ideas for the organization and themselves. They seek other paths to goals which stray from the norm and openly push others to challenge their own beliefs and values, as well as those of the company. They encourage team members to explore new ways of doing things and look for new opportunities to learn. Therefore, Intellectual Stimulation dimension can play such an influential role in organizational growth. On the other side, employee job satisfaction is the feeling and attitude people have towards their jobs and different aspects of their jobs. When people have pleasant and positive attitudes towards their job, that’s when they are satisfied with their job, but when people have unpleasant and negative attitudes towards their job, that’s when they are dissatisfied with their job. This study emphasizes on to investigate the impact of ‘Intellectual Stimulation dimension of transformational leadership style’ on employee job satisfaction by means of a descriptive and analytical methodology. Quantitative research design is adopted. The quantitative study applies a survey type of research design. Simple random technique is used to select the sample of total workforce. A structured questionnaire is utilized to obtain primary data from the participants. 118 employees from five different domains participated in the study. Out of which 102 participants responded showing 86.4% response rate. The Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ) developed by Bass (1997) is used to measure ‘Intellectual Stimulation’ dimension of transformational leadership. A 5-point Likert scale is used from Strongly disagree (1) to Strongly agree (5). The Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ) is used to measure the level of satisfaction among employees with a scale from very dissatisfied (1) to very satisfied (5). The collected primary data is analyzed using descriptive statistics. Pearson correlation analysis is used to test the hypothesis. This study revealed that there is a highly significant and positive relationship between ‘Intellectual Stimulation dimension of transformational leadership’ and employee job satisfaction. Intellectual Stimulation positively impacts on employee job satisfaction. The result of this study concluded that if leaders adopt ‘Intellectual Stimulation dimension of transformational leadership’ they could get better satisfied and committed employees for the organization which will help to achieve organizational goals. Outcome of this research will be beneficial to such organizations who are still following traditional leadership styles. It will be a good insight to them, why there is a need to bring transformation in the leadership and how much it is necessary and going to impact to keep employees satisfied in their job, to achieve organizational goals.
