Job Satisfaction and Organizational Behavior Stress and Burnout Research Employee Performance and Leadership

Abstract

This study examined the influence transformational and transactional leadership styles have on job stress among employees in Ghana’s banking industry. The study made use of structured questionnaires to collect quantitative data. 196 questionnaires were returned by respondents out of 250 administered. The findings revealed a significant negative relationship between transformational leadership and job stress (β = -.193, p< .05) and a significant positive relationship between transactional leadership and job stress (β = .165, p< .05). From these findings, it is recommended that managers adopt transformational leadership behaviours in order to reduce job stress among employees in Ghana’s banking industry. This is a pioneering work in the Ghanaian context where participants have been drawn from 19 different banks; making it possible to get general views of employees concerning the subject.
