The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of transformational and transactional leadership styles on organizational readiness for change among health professionals in the case of selected public hospitals in the North Showa Zone, Oromia Region, Ethiopia.
The institutional-based cross-sectional study design was employed for one month in April 2021. The data were collected from a sample of 212 subordinate health professional staffs. Multi-factor leadership surveys and organizational readiness for change questionnaires were used for data collection. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and exploratory factor analysis, run on the SPSS 23 version. Pearson correlation and multiple regressions were used. Multiple regression results were expressed using the statistical values and β-coefficient. Statistical significance was declared at a -value of <.05.
The Pearson product correlation of organizational readiness for change was found to be low positive and statistically significant for both transformational leadership behavior ( = .49, < .01) and transactional leadership behavior ( = .39, < .01). Both transformational leadership behavior ( = 5.32, = .00) and transactional leadership behavior ( = 2.08, = .034) were found to be significant contributors to the variance of organizational readiness for change among health professionals, according to the findings. However, transformational leadership behavior style appears to make a more significant contribution (β = 0.39) than transactional leadership style (β = 0.15) in predicting organizational readiness for change among health professionals.
The study revealed that whenever transformational and/or transactional leadership behaviors are exhibited by the administrative staff, readiness for organizational change (commitment and efficacy) increases among health professionals. The study also concluded that a quarter of the readiness for organizational change can be affected by the two leadership styles.
本研究旨在确定变革型领导风格和交易型领导风格对埃塞俄比亚奥罗米亚州北绍阿地区选定公立医院卫生专业人员的组织变革准备情况的影响。
采用基于机构的横断面研究设计，于2021年4月进行了为期一个月的研究。数据收集自212名下属卫生专业人员。使用多因素领导调查和组织变革准备情况问卷进行数据收集。使用描述性统计和探索性因素分析对数据进行分析，分析在SPSS 23版本上运行。使用了皮尔逊相关性和多元回归。多元回归结果用统计值和β系数表示。当p值<0.05时，宣布具有统计学意义。
发现变革型领导行为（r = 0.49，p < 0.01）和交易型领导行为（r = 0.39，p < 0.01）与组织变革准备情况的皮尔逊积差相关性均为低正相关且具有统计学意义。研究结果表明，变革型领导行为（β = 5.32，p = 0.00）和交易型领导行为（β = 2.08，p = 0.034）都是卫生专业人员组织变革准备情况差异的重要贡献因素。然而，在预测卫生专业人员的组织变革准备情况方面，变革型领导行为风格似乎比交易型领导风格（β = 0.15）做出了更显著的贡献（β = 0.39）。
该研究表明，每当行政人员表现出变革型和/或交易型领导行为时，卫生专业人员对组织变革的准备情况（承诺和效能）就会提高。该研究还得出结论，组织变革准备情况的四分之一可受这两种领导风格的影响。
