Abstract

The performance of a company is affected by several variables and understanding them and knowing how they work is decisive for management.

Furthermore, results indicate the mediating effect of efficiency and employee autonomy on the relationship between transformational leadership and cost savings and between transformational leadership and unproductive work time.
