Abstract

This study assessed the contribution of transformational leadership on employees’ performance in foreign forestry investors in Mufindi District. The specific objectives of the study were: i) to determine the contribution of idealized influence on employee’s performance, ii) to determine the contribution of inspirational motivation on employee’s performance and iii) to determine the contribution of individualized consideration on employee’s performance in foreign forestry investors in Mufindi District. This study was qualitative in nature whereby three cases were developed. On each case representatives were interviewed. This study employed purposive sampling technique to select respondents while data were analyzed narratively. Findings revealed that idealized influence has no contributions on employee’s performance because themes which build up idealized influence which are effective communication, trust, role model and respect were not applicable. In addition, the study also found that inspirational motivation was partially applicable towards enhancing employee’s performance because motivation and teamwork was applied while freedom and creativity was not. Furthermore, findings revealed that individualized consideration was not applied to enhance employees’ performance because employees were not recognized as important machinery, not delegated responsibility, continuous training and coaching was not experienced and little support witnessed. From these results this study concluded that idealized influence and individualized consideration were not applicable to enhance employee’s performance while inspirational motivation partially applied. On view of inspirational motivation, freedom and creativity should be encouraged to increase performance. Likewise, the study recommended that effective communication, trust, role model and respect should be emphasized for idealized influence. Also employee’s recognition, responsibility and power delegation, continuous training and coaching for individualized consideration should be practiced to enhance employees’ performance.
