¶ … Performance Effects of Transformational Leadership in Public Administration," Doina Popescu Ljungholm examines a number of components of job performance for those in public administrator positions that work with the government. The focus of the study examined in the article is on how individual perceptions help explain employee behavior, leadership within the context of democratic governance, public administrators within their context of democratic governance, and leadership policies in public sector settings (Ljungholm, 2014). The author's goal was to build upon prior research that suggested that there was a moral component to transformational leadership, the impact of that leadership on public service motivation, how leadership can promote the moral values that promote public service, and what relationship exists between leadership and team performance (Ljungholm, 2014).
Ljungholm examines the concept of mission valence. Mission valence is not directly impacted by transformational leadership, but refers to an employee's perceptions of how the company impacts society.

The prior literature suggests that transformational leaders act as role models for the rest of the organization, modeling both pride and trust in the organization. In the public sector, this translates to providing an incentive for public service, because serving the public becomes an internalized, organization-wide value. Furthermore, for public sector positions transformational leadership also has the potential of impacting how citizens approach the rules and norms of the organization.

Another component Ljungholm examines is how transformational leadership impacts casual performance. Casual performance is often not measured by formal measure of performance, but, instead, represents performance aspects that are not as easily quantified. Transformational leaders help ensure that organizational…

While the case study approach would have allowed Gubman to interview employees on their degree of loyalty, one is left to wonder whether a few selective interviews, which would be in line with the case study format, would allow Gubman to make any generalizations about a company with thousands of employees, like Motorola. Stephen Denning (2005) also attempts to measure the effects of transformational leadership through a case study approach of IBM's e- business strategy in
