Abstract

This study aimed at examining the influence of transformational leadership (TL) on regional commissioners` offices performance in Tanzania (RCOP). Specifically, the study focused: i) to examine the influence of inspirational motivation on RCOP performance in Tanzania; ii) to determine the influence of individualized consideration on RCOP in Tanzania; iii) to analyze the influence of intellectual stimulation on RCOP in Tanzania and; iv) to investigate the influence of idealized influence on RCOP in Tanzania. The study employed quantitative research methods where survey design was used. The targeted sample size of the study was 360 respondents. Multi stage sampling technique applied to draw the study subjects. Data were collected in eight regional commissioners` offices whereby each zone was represented by one region. Data analyses were done quantitatively using structural equation modeling. The findings of the study indicate that individualized consideration and idealized influence have significant influence on RCOP in Tanzania. Contrary to that, inspirational motivation and intellectual stimulation found with insignificant influence on RCOP in Tanzania. The study concludes that transformational leadership partially influences RCOP in Tanzania. The study recommends that individualized consideration and idealized influence should be used to the maximum potential in order to improve RCOP in Tanzanian context.
