Abstract

The purpose of this study was to assess the Predictive Effect of Transformational Leadership on Organizational Transcendence in the Ministry of Sports. 265 peoples were randomly selected from employees of this ministry. The Bass transformational leadership (2003), and EFQM organizational transcendence (2003) questionnaires were used for collecting data. Data analysis was don using single-sample t-test, multiple linear regression and structural equation modeling in SPSS and LISREL. According the results, level of "transformational leadership" and "organizational transcendence" were assessed as "poor" and "average", respectively. Idealized influence (0.78), individual consideration (0.73), inspirational motivation (0.70) and intellectual stimulation (0.68), have highest share in the establishment of transformational leadership, respectively. The transformational leadership (0.72) can explain 51.44% of the organizational excellence changes. Idealized influence (47.61%), individual consideration (43.56%), inspirational motivation (37.21%) and intellectual stimulation (32.49%) had the highest predictive effect, respectively on the organizational excellence. Also, the model has a good fit and a high ability to measuring main variable. The transformational leadership was able to predict organizational transcendence of Ministry of Sports. Therefore, due to the weakness of the transformational leadership in this organization, the implementation of this leadership style, is recommended for organizational transcendence of this ministry. Attention to the idealized influence, and individual consideration, is more important.
