Introduction This paper examines the relations of and transformational leadership with employee intentions quit in the Indian hospitality industry. India is known worldwide as ancient and mysterious civilization and the second most populated country of the world after China, with a population of over one billion (Anonymous, 2010). With increasing worldwide tourism and travel for leisure, business in the Indian hospitality industry is on the rise. However, the owners/operators of the hospitality organizations in India are facing the challenges of high employee turnover. Umashankar and Kulkarni (2002) found the highest employee turnover among Indian food and beverage employees. One of the factors leading employee intention quit in India is the lack of dignity of employees. Should one look into Indian cultural history, it is not surprising see why one is still caught up/entangled in giving respect the position rather than the person who is performing a certain task. This is evident in the Indian hospitality industry.

By the time Block's book The Empowered Manager (Block, 1986) was published, the term was already in use in large-scale organizations committed cultural change and was actively promoted by evangelical management advisors as a sine qua non of change (Collins, 1999). Although the term empowerment has been central management thought and has been practiced for a little over two decades now, not much research has been conducted in the customer service management areas. However, authors such as Hartline and Ferrell (1996), Lashley (1999, 2000), McDougall andLevesque (1999), Lam, et al.
