Transformational leaders have the potential to influence their followers to work beyond their normal capacities at the workplace and show resolute loyalty towards the organizational objectives. Although numerous studies have explored the relationship between transformational leadership and employee’s affective organizational commitment, what causes or mediates this relationship is yet to be explored. Therefore, the present study intends to explore the mediating role of influence tactics in explaining the relationship between transformational leadership and the follower’s organizational commitment. This study was conducted using reliable and validated instruments for data collection on a sample of 352 professionals working in various iron and steel firms across Chhattisgarh in India. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS 18. The analysis reveals transformational leadership having a significant positive relationship with follower’s affective organizational commitment. The findings of this study also reported that the two influence tactics (rationality and inspirational appeal) partially mediates the relationship between transformational leadership and affective organizational commitment.
This chapter purports to identify the various factors contributing to occupational stress in today's business scenario and analyses how occupational stress influences employees' job performance. The keywords were antecedents of anxiety, stress outcomes, factors leading to stress, stress management, and job satisfaction for the literature search. The study drew from a range of published sources, both quantitative and qualitative, for framing the conceptual review. The investigation indicates that job stress results from various adverse situations, such as role ambiguity, non-participative management, intrinsic impoverishment, poor working environment, and lack of opportunity for growth and advancement at the workplace. More precisely, this chapter explores occupational stress's dynamic conditions and understands various stressors leading to such stress. The study further attempts to map the outcomes or consequences on employee's overall performance through a theoretical model. The model, however, needs empirical investigation to substantiate the proposed relationships.
