Relationship between Transformational Leadership and Work-Related Flow in an Industrial Organization

This study investigated the relationship between transformational leadership with work-related flow. Participants included 320 employees from an organization who completed Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (Bass and Avolio, 1995) and Work-Related Flow scale (Bakker, 2008). The results show that the range of correlation coefficients between subscales of transformational leadership (idealized influence, inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation, individualized consideration), and the three components of the construct of work-related flow (absorption, work enjoyment, intrinsic work motivation) are from .15 to .56 which are significant at p < .01 and p < .05. In addition, the results of the stepwise regression technique showed that the intellectual stimulation and individualized consideration had the most significant effects on the dimensions of work-related flow.
