Abstract
This study aims to study about the role of transformational leadership on business performance via job satisfaction and organizational commitment and compare leadership styles between Central and Northeastern part of local scholars. Based on two theories, transformational leadership theory and social information processing approach are implemented to explain the ability of farms which can respond to change that occur in its internal and external environment. The paper was quantitative research. Data were collected from 65 local scholars including 25 in Central and 40 in Northeastern part of Thailand. Questionnaire was used as an instrument. The statistics used for analyzing data were correlation analysis and multiple linear regression analysis. The results indicate that the relationship between leadership styles and job satisfaction as well as organizational commitment is significant. There is no difference between the leadership styles of two parts of local scholars. The results indicate that higher levels of transformational leadership can lead to enhance business performance. Therefore, local scholars should cultivate transformational leadership to promote social learning and organizational activities. Other factors should be included in future research to increase the power of explaining this model more efficiently so that TL practices can be implemented for organizations in other farmers. In addition to this empirical contribution, it is hoped that this research will focus the attention of researchers and managers on the crucial role that transformation leadership plays in developing human resource capabilities and shaping the firm’s competitive position and sustainable competitive advantage. Therefore, local scholars should cultivate transformational leadership to promote social learning and organizational activities. Other factors should be included in future research to increase the power of explaining this model more efficiently so that TL practices can be implemented for organizations in other farmers.
