Transactional Leadership

In this study, the facets of TLS were uniquely treated as sub-constructs relative to previous leadership studies that have tended to bind these sub-constructs into the mono-construct of transactional leadership. Arguably, the prevalent treatment of the TLS as a mono-construct clearly limits the explanatory powers of such studies. It is recommended, therefore, that future studies should test the different facets of the TLS as sub-constructs in order to establish how each facet relates to employee commitment in different work contexts and cultural environments within the African continent. Furthermore, while the study showed that the CR facet of the TLS has a relationship with all types of employee commitment, exploring how specific forms of rewards influence the different strands of employee commitment could prove insightful.
