Exploring the Effects of Transformational Leadership on Employee Outcomes and Regional Financial Growth in Gunung Kidul Tourism
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study aims to analyze the influence of transformational leadership style on employee performance in the tourism sector of Gunung Kidul Regency, Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta. This study uses a quantitative approach with a survey design, where data is collected through questionnaires distributed to 100 respondents working in the tourism sector in the area. The variables tested include four dimensions of transformational leadership style, namely idealized influence, inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation, and individualized consideration. The results show that transformational leadership style has a significant influence on employee performance. The dimensions of idealized influence, inspirational motivation, and individualized consideration scored very well, while intellectual stimulation, although showing good scores, still needs further strengthening. This study suggests that leaders in the tourism sector should increase intellectual stimulation to encourage creativity and problem-solving among employees. These findings are expected to be a reference for tourism sector managers in improving service quality and employee performance through the application of transformational leadership style.
