ABSTRACT
The aim of the study is to find the relationship between transformational leadership style its
facets i.e idealized influence behavior, idealized influence attribute, inspirational motivation,
intellectual stimulation, individual consideration and transactional leadership styles and its
facets, i.e. contingent reward, management by exception active and passive and performance
with mediating role of organizational culture. The quantitative method i.e. deductive
approach survey method for data collection is used. This study is cross sectional so data is
collected one time. Total population of this study is 64 branches of all public and private
banks in which 1012 employees are working. Total 278 was population but 450
questionnaires are distributed and 319 questionnaires are collected back. Correlation
analysis, hierarchical multiple regression and ANOVA and T-Test are used for analysis.
Transformational transactional leadership styles and performance and culture are related
with each other also results of regression show that culture does act as mediator on the
relationship between transformational transactional leadership styles and performance.
Results of ANOVA and t-test also show significant differences upon motivation. As this study
is conducted on banks so findings can be generalized only on banking sector not other
sectors.
Keywords: Transformational Leadership, Transactional Leadership, Performance, Culture.

Introduction
1.0 Introduction
All the important matters like research gaps in theory, framework are discussed in this
chapter. Hypotheses have been developed on basis of the previous study. Moreover, this
chapter also includes the theoretical framework of the study. The significance of the study is
also discussed. Who will take benefit from findings of the study and how academicians and
practitioners can raise awareness of leadership styles in Pakistan and how to increase the
performance of the followers. This chapter is important because it has discussed the gaps in
the literature and deficiencies in literature. How these gaps are addressed in problem
statement and how culture can effect on increasing performance of the employees.
1.1 Background of the Study
All the organizations including banks are made up to achieve goals and these
organizations achieve their goals by performing their tasks through the help of resources such
as man, machine, materials, and money etc. The vital and generating resource is manpower
(employees) which is alive while all resources are non-living and useless without human
resources (Mwita, 2000). Employees of any organization have the highest priority and are the
most important factor of production. No doubt, less attention given to other resources will
result in less productivity but if attention is reduced towards employees and their
performance it can become disastrous to the organization. So, it can be said that employees
and their performance have a vital role in the development of banks as well as all other
organizations. The success of an organization always depends on the participation and job
performance of their employees. One of the most important dependent variables is a
performance which has been studied for long decades. (Ejere &Ugochukwu, 2013).
“The Relationship between Transformational, Transactional Leadership Styles and Employees
Performance Mediating Role of Culture Dimensions of Bankers In District D.I.Khan KPK Pakistan.” 2
Employee performance is most important to measure in this study . Employees‟
performance is affected by numerous factors at banks such as financial rewards, job security,
managers attitude, culture, personal problems, job content, motivation, salaries, training, and
leadership etc. but leadership is most important which can be defined as the ability through
which objectives can be achieved in an ethical, respectful and loyal manner by motivating
and influencing employees (Hersey & Blanchard, 1986). Leadership is an important part
which is considered and implemented in organizations to increase human competency, (Yukl,
2002).The aim of leadership is to increase the skill of supervisors at all levels whether
operational, tactical, strategic and personal as well. The most significant part nowadays is that
how effectively the leadership attributes can be adopted by the manager so that these
attributes can be helpful to achieve his goals. Leadership includes the process of developing
leading qualities in managers and transferring and sharing into all members of the
organization to achieve the organizational objectives (Hamilton & Cynthia, 2005).
There are two main dimensions of leadership; transformational and transactional
leadership. Leadership is related to other many variables like effectiveness, cognitive style
job satisfaction (Wang, Oh, Courtright, & Colbert, 2011).
In transactional leadership relationship between followers and leaders is made on
basis of rewards given to followers on the achievement of objectives. In this style of
leadership, the leader identifies the goals and means to achieve these goals, besides these the
leader also clarifies that achievement will imply successful rewards while failure will cause
punishments (Bass, Avolio, Jung & Berson, 2003). Hence, mutual understanding is
developed between leader and subordinates due to which trust is developed (Whittington,
Goodwin, Coker, Ickes, & Murray, 2009). This trust can motivate them to take actions that
can help to achieve the targets and lead to better job performance.(Asgari, et al., 2008; Suli-
man &Obaidly, 2013; Whittington et al., 2009).
“The Relationship between Transformational, Transactional Leadership Styles and Employees
Performance Mediating Role of Culture Dimensions of Bankers In District D.I.Khan KPK Pakistan.” 3
On the other side, at the point when the individual needs of their subordinates are
considered and subordinates are urged to organize the group over the individual interests as
an approach to accomplish the objectives and goals are called transformational leaders (Bass,
Avolio & Atwater, 1996; Bass et al., 2003). These behaviors make the subordinates, that
engage in a process of social exchanges with their leaders (Goodwin, Wofford, &
Whittington, 2001) which rouse them to attempt endeavors for the association to return
positive treatment gotten by their leaders (Boerner, Eisenbeiss, &Griesser, 2007). The
initiative methodology in which the leaders take activities to endeavor to improve their
partners' attention to what is correct and imperative and to raise their partners' inspirational
development is called Transformational leadership. (Ben, 2012; Khan, Busari, Abdullah,
Mughal, 2018).
In spite of leadership, the organizational culture is also an important component
which has an impact on employees' performance. The organizational culture is defined as the
behaviors, traditions, and way of life that determines the system. Every organization has its
own culture and the efficiency of an organization is influenced by its culture. (Ogber 2003,
Schein 2004, Alvesson 2003; Ahmed & Cheng, 2018). Different organizations have different
environment, values, practices, style, emotion, traits and a feel that is unique to it. There are
diverse attributes which differentiate one firm from another firm. These attributed includes
custom and thoughts. (Forehand & von Gilmer 1964).
According to Ojo.O (2008) various studies prove that from last few decades the
impact of organizational culture on performance is observed and Argued by Shahzad,
Luqman, Khan, & Shabbir ( 2012), When the employees contribute their services and when
they are committed and have similar norms and value as per organizations have, it leads to
the success of organization. The positive relationship is examined by the Aluko (2003)
between organizational culture and employee's performance and found that when an
“The Relationship between Transformational, Transactional Leadership Styles and Employees
Performance Mediating Role of Culture Dimensions of Bankers In District D.I.Khan KPK Pakistan.” 4
organization has a weak culture then employees don't perform very well together. Lack of
participation is also observed in organizations where culture is weak.
According to Bass (1985), the most researched topic in leadership is the relationship
between transformational leadership style and performance. Around thirty years this
hypothesis was used and researched by researchers. It is supported that those following
transformational leadership has shown high performance (Wang et al., 2011). But it is still a
question that how transformational leadership elicits performance is still unclear and answer
by very few studies. Maybe the answer to this question is lie in the culture. It is clear that
culture is separately correlated with transformational leadership and performance (Tims et
al.,2011).
Now the history of leadership will shed light from where and how this leadership
approaches emerged. Burn (1978) has given an idea of transformational leadership. Later on,
Bass (1980) has extended the concept of transformational leadership to the organizational
setting. Since then leadership has been the main focus of researchers since last three decades.
According to Yukl (1989), transformational leaders have to align the goals of organizations
and followers in order to achieve them. Transformational leadership is divided into five
dimensions.
Full range leadership model was given by first Bass and Avolio (1995) after the
charismatic leadership. Later on different researchers verified this style in their studies.
Transformational leadership is second name of charismatic leadership (Khan et al., 2017). In
charismatic leadership leader attracted his subordinates or followers by his behavior and same
is the case in the transformational leadership style. In this way leader wins the trust of his
followers i.e. employees of his/her organizations.
“The Relationship between Transformational, Transactional Leadership Styles and Employees
Performance Mediating Role of Culture Dimensions of Bankers In District D.I.Khan KPK Pakistan.” 5
Leader by using transformational leadership style motivate his employees to achieve
that goal of organization which is very difficult. Leader related goals of organization with
goals of its followers so it is easy for them to achieve their objectives (Bass and Avolio,
2002). Leader gave new plan to employees and gives them a way or chance to think in better
way and bring some innovativeness in their work. They want their employees to handle the
old issues or problems in better way. (Avolio& Bass, 2002).
In addition, employees learn new ways of innovativeness and that bring change in
them it increases its productivity it changes their behavior and there is chance of learning new
things at their work place. In these process leaders ignores the mistakes done by the followers
or employees. when leaders ignores their mistakes it gives them courage to take initiatives
and risks. (Avolio& Bass, 2002; Busari, 2011).
The first person who introduced the idea of full range leadership i.e. transformation ,
transactional leadership and laissez faire was Bass, but bass has carried out the work of Burns
(1978). In first factor i.e. transformational leaders does not give anything tangible except
motivation and inspiration but in transactional leadership promise is made to pay some
benefits for completing tasks. This idea was first given by burns (1978). Later on carried out
by Bass.

1.2 Problem Statement
A number of studies conducted on leadership but there is still a gap lacking in the
field of leadership, culture, and performance. Abbas and Yaqoob (2009) conducted a study on
leadership and performance; In addition, Jankingthong and Rurkkhum (2012),Khan, Busari,
Abdullah, Mughal (2018) also conducted a study on the relationship between leadership and
job performance. This study was carried out by Busari (2011) but in different perspective
without any mediator or moderator i.e. culture.
1.2.1 Theoretical Gap
There are a lot of theories given on transformational leadership styles and
transactional leadership styles. The behavioral approach, contingency approach, situational
approaches, and transformational and transactional approaches were given by different
authors (Busari, 2011; Bass & Avolio, 1995). All these approaches are used and tested by
different authors in different contexts, in different cultures with different variables. For
example, transformational and transactional leadership is checked by Busari (2011) with
leadership effectiveness, also transformational and transactional leadership is checked by
Abbas and Yaqoob (2009) with performance.
In addition, Ali et al (2013) also conducted a study on leadership styles and
performance. Moreover, Thao and Hwang (2015) conducted a study on leadership and
performance but did not use any other variables in the model. But all these studies were
lacking mediators and moderators. So there was an intense need to add mediator or moderator
in the relationship between leadership styles and performance.
A huge number of articles, thesis and dissertation were read also downloaded from
impact factor journals after reviewing a number of articles it was found that culture is not
used widely among the leadership styles and employees performance. So on the basis of this
“The Relationship between Transformational, Transactional Leadership Styles and Employees
Performance Mediating Role of Culture Dimensions of Bankers In District D.I.Khan KPK Pakistan.” 7
gap theory of leadership was studies that theory also suggested that this culture can be added
as a mediator in the theory of leadership styles. So this study has added this gap in this study.
1.2.2 Methodological Gap
Studies conducted on the leadership styles have used different methods and different
instruments to fill the gaps. Busari (2011) conducted a study on leadership and used an
instrument developed by Bass and Avolio (1996) in this investigation, multiple regression
was utilized to check the relationship between leadership styles and leadership effectiveness.
In the same way, Abbas and Yaqoob (2009) also conducted a study on leadership and
performance and used simple regression to test the hypotheses and validate the instrument of
leadership. Also, Ejere and Abasilim (2010), Khan et al (2017), conducted a study on
leadership and used simple linear regression to test the hypotheses. All these studies were
lacking exploratory factor analysis in order to validate the instrument of these leadership
styles and performance. According to Creswell (2009), no research is validated without
validating the instruments. So there is a need to validate the instrument of leadership styles
developed by Bass and Avolio (1995) Culture developed by Hofstede and performance in
Pakistan perspective. All those instruments of leadership styles were validated in western
perspective and were designed according to those cultures. So this study has reported these
instruments in Pakistani perspective by using exploratory factor analysis. Also, hierarchical
multiple regression has been used in this study in order to report the mediating effects of
culture with transformational and transactional leadership styles with performance.
1.3 Objectives of the Study
To identify the relationship between transformational leadership style factors (IIA,
IIB, IS, IM, IC) and performance.
To determine the relationship between transactional leadership styles factors (CR,
MEA, MEP) and performance.
“The Relationship between Transformational, Transactional Leadership Styles and Employees
Performance Mediating Role of Culture Dimensions of Bankers In District D.I.Khan KPK Pakistan.” 8
To identify the mediating effect of culture among transformational leadership style
factors (IIA, IIB, IS, IM, IC) and performance.
To identify the mediating effect of culture among transactional leadership styles
factors (CR, MEA, MEP) and performance.
To find the mean difference among demographics and transformational, transactional
styles, culture, and performance.
1.4 Research Hypotheses Development
Wongyanon (2015) conducted a study on leadership styles and performance. Also,
facets of transformational and transactional leadership styles were also used in this study.
Found that idealized influence attitude has a positive relationship with performance. Also,
idealized influence behavior has a positive relationship with performance. In the same way,
inspirational motivation has a positive relationship with performance. In addition Gadot
(2005) found a strong positive relationship between transformational leadership styles and its
facets idealized influence behavior and idealized influenced attribute, intellectual stimulation,
individual consideration and inspirational motivational with employees performance. Bass
(1985) has developed a questionnaire on leadership styles after that relationship between
leadership styles and performance are found strong and significant. Bass (1997) claimed that
transformational leaders can increase the performance of the employees or followers by
treating their employees as an individual (individual consideration) and framing their work as
meaningful intellectual stimulation). According to Shamir (1991) explained that
transformational leaders are key for motivation to increase the performance of followers.
Wang et al., (2005) conducted a study on transformational leadership and follower's
performance and explained that transformational leaders have an influence on followers to
achieve exceptional performance. In addition, Conger and Kunnungo (1993) claimed that
transformational leaders have an influence on the organization as well as employees
“The Relationship between Transformational, Transactional Leadership Styles and Employees
Performance Mediating Role of Culture Dimensions of Bankers In District D.I.Khan KPK Pakistan.” 9
performance. These claims have been confirmed by a number of studies that there is a strong
relationship between transformational leadership and performance (Wang et al., 2011). Lim
and Polyhart (2004) found the relationship between transformational leadership and
performance. It is therefore useful that how leaders influence, motivate and stimulate their
followers to perform their duties well in day to day operations in the organization.
H1a: Transformational leadership style factors (IIA, IIB, IS, IM, IC) has a direct
relation with performance.
H1b: idealized influence behavior has a direct relation with performance.
H1c: idealized influence attitude has a direct relation with performance.
H1d: individual consideration has a direct relation with performance.
H1e: intellectual stimulation has a direct relation with performance.
H1f: inspirational motivation has a direct relation with performance.
According to the research of Ben, et al. (2012) where correlation results show direct
and significant relations with performance of employees. One study carried out by Khan et
al., (2017) and reported the same results. Leader‟s styles have effective results on
performance and effectiveness of employees but transactional leadership and the contingent
reward was found more effective in bringing effective performance in organizations. In
support Howell and Avolio (1993) conducted the study on 78 managers and found that
individual consideration and intellectual stimulation were positively related with the
performance but in transactional leadership contingent reward and management by exception
active is negatively related with performance while management by exception passive is
positively related with performance. Moreover, Krishnan (2005) conducted a study on the
leader-member exchange, transformational leadership, and transactional leadership and found
that these two types are stronger predictors of performance of followers and employees.
“The Relationship between Transformational, Transactional Leadership Styles and Employees
Performance Mediating Role of Culture Dimensions of Bankers In District D.I.Khan KPK Pakistan.” 10
Shelter and Bass (1990) and Yammarina, Spangler, and Bass (1993) reported direct results
among leadership variables and performance of employees.
Butler, Cantrell, and Flick (1999) second factor i.e. transactional leadership has some
connection with followers and their performance of tasks. Brown and Dodd (1999) reported
that there is a strong relationship between transactional leadership and performance. In
addition, Thite (1999) claimed that those managers who have idealized influence and
intellectual stimulation and used contingent reward has more productive employees and their
performance is recorded higher than other employees performance. In Bass and Avolio
(1995) study on reported that transactional leadership, contingent reward, management by
exception active and management by exception passive are negatively relating with the
performance so on the basis of above discussion following hypotheses are developed.
H2a: transactional leadership styles have a positive relationship with performance.
H2b: contingent reward has positive relation with performance.
H2c: management by exception active has a positive relationship with performance.
H2d: management by exception passive has a positive relationship with performance.
It is evident from the studies that leadership styles and its dimensions i.e.
transformational and transactional leadership styles are correlated with performance but in
few studies it was not related with the performance and other variables like organization
citizenship behavior and job satisfaction but it has indirect effect by using some mediating
variables like culture (Hutahayan et al., 2013). According to Al sardiehs (2012) reported that
there is a mediating effect of culture on the relationship between transformational leadership
and transactional leadership styles and performance. In addition, Grondutse and Hilman
(2015) used organization culture on leadership and ethics and found that culture does acts as
a mediator between leadership and ethics. Moreover, Lin (2009) conducted a study on the
effect of leadership and organizational culture on innovativeness and reported that culture
“The Relationship between Transformational, Transactional Leadership Styles and Employees
Performance Mediating Role of Culture Dimensions of Bankers In District D.I.Khan KPK Pakistan.” 11
does act as mediator on the relationship between leadership and innovativeness. Also, Shehu
and Mehmood (2014) conducted a study on entrepreneurship orientation and performance
using organizational culture as mediator. PLS was used for statistical analysis and results
found that organizational culture acts as a mediator between orientation and performance.
Studies conducted by Zhang et al.,(2009) organization culture acts as a mediator between
organizational commitment and performance. While Wongyanon et al (2015) found that
organizational culture affects the relationship between transformational and transactional
leadership styles and their attributes and performance. According to Aguayo (2012)
conducted a study on Mexican managers and found that culture effects performance of
employees. In the same way, Sturnman (2012) conducted a study on the effect of culture and
performance and turnover intention and found that culture effects performance. Also,
Nazarian (2013) conducted a study on the relationship between leadership, national culture,
and performance and found that culture acts as a mediator as well as a moderator between
leadership and performance. So from the above discussion, it is clear that there is a
relationship between organizational culture, transformational leadership style, and
transactional leadership style and performance. Soon the bases of the above discussion
following hypotheses are developed.
H3: There is a positive significant mediating relationship of culture among
transformational leadership style factors (IIA, IIB, IS, IM, IC) and performance.
H4: There is a positive significant mediating relationship transactional leadership
styles factors (CR, MEA, MEP) and performance.
Mohammed et al., (2012) conducted a study on demographic factors named socio
demographic factors and transformational leadership style and found that
transformational leadership does not depend on demographic factors. The results of
Mohammed et al., (2012) also explained that education and marital status does not

Performance Mediating Role of Culture Dimensions of Bankers In District D.I.Khan KPK Pakistan.” 12
influence transformational leaders. Also, Avolio (1995) reported that males have
shown higher transformational leadership style as compared to women leaders.
1.5 Theoretical framework

1.6 Significance
Center of attention of this research is the leadership, transactional and
transformational leadership and the impact of leadership on performance by considering
culture as mediating variable. Improvement in leadership is fruitful for the banking sector
because it leads towards the employees to increase performance which further results as an
improved productivity, growth, and performance of banks. Beside leadership Culture also has
“The Relationship between Transformational, Transactional Leadership Styles and Employees
Performance Mediating Role of Culture Dimensions of Bankers In District D.I.Khan KPK Pakistan.” 13
been taken as a factor which affects employees' performance. Thus the culture should be
considered as a more vital factor since it will influence banking productivity.
The study is thought to be useful for management in the banking sector to know the
requirements of their employees so that they can be motivated to attain the goals of their
banks. This will help the management in planning, assessing decision making and resolving
issues related to employees' satisfaction and performance by taking the right actions required
to develop the performance.
This study can also contribute to policymakers in the banking sector by providing new
ideas and information about how to deal with leadership and performance issues faced in the
banking sector. Thus the strategic planning can be made to get more output and excellence.
The reason to relate every aspect to the employees job performance Is that it is a correct
method to reach at the overall goal of banking sector because the performance of employees
is linked to policy making, managp8erial action plan, work environment of an organization,
customer dealing and many more that‟s why the skilled and talented employees are
considered as the lifeblood of any organization. This study has also extended the literature for
those researchers and nongovernment organizations and bankers who are working in banks
because it has also reported the findings of demographic variables. Dera Ismail Khan is very
backward area and those people who are not willing to work in this area can take benefits
from the findings also state bank of Pakistan and national bank of Pakistan can take benefits
from results of T-Tests and ANOVA. It has reported interesting results of banker sin DIK.
1.7 Definition of Terms
1.7.1 Leadership
The way of influencing others is called leadership. And influence on basis of
behavior, attitude motivation is called transformational leadership. (Nelson & Quick, 2006;
Northhouse, 2001). According to Yukl (2002) the way toward affecting others to all the more
“The Relationship between Transformational, Transactional Leadership Styles and Employees
Performance Mediating Role of Culture Dimensions of Bankers In District D.I.Khan KPK Pakistan.” 14
likely comprehend and concur what should be done and how it to be done and furthermore it
is the way toward encouraging others and consolidate endeavors to accomplish shared
objectives.
1.7.1.1 Transformational Leadership
Rouche et al., (1989) characterized transformational leadership that it is the capability
of a pioneer that impact the qualities, standards culture and conduct of the supporters by
working with them so as to get some mission and vision of the association). According to
Yukl (2002), transformational leaders affect major changes in attitudes of members and
create commitment for the mission objectives of the organization.
1.7.1.2 Transactional Leadership
Bass and Avolio (2002) defined Transactional Leadership as the achievement of goals on the
promise of some rewards given by organizations. Burns (1979) define transactional
leadership as one party i.e. follower provides labor services to another party i.e. leadership in
exchange of rewards. Dale and Marilyn (2008), Mughal & Kamal (2018) define transactional
leadership in the way the leader motivate its followers with different kinds of rewards.
1.7.2 Organizational Culture
According to Morgan (1998) define culture as a development of knowledge, values,
ideologies, and laws in society are called culture. Schein (2010) defined organizational
culture as shared values assumptions, expectations and norms, which stick together the
employees and organization, are called culture.

Chapter 2
Literature Review
2.1Definitions of Leadership
Burns (1977) States that the concept which has been taken in too much consideration
without being aware of it is leadership. In management, leadership has a detailed and well-off
history. It is discussed too much in research topics relating to organizational behaviors,
performance, and organizational culture but it is minimal understood in the organization
(Avolio, 2002). Bass (1990), Busari et al. (2017), also says that the definition of leadership
remains ambiguous.
On the other side (Yukl, 2002)reported connection among leaders and performance
considerations in the research range. While Stogsdill (1974) recommended that many
researchers have given a lot of definitions of leadership to define its meanings. According to
Fisher (1985), Leadership is most likely to write about the social phenomenon of the entire
time but due to its complication, it's still not well understood.
Popper and Lipshitz (1993: 24) defined leadership. According to them the results of
leadership are not instant and tangible and it's a difficult task. Nahavandi (2009) states that
there are three common elements which are found in various definitions of leadership, these
elements include (1) Teamwork (2) direction towards the goal (3) some form of hierarchy
within a team. It's not as simpler to decide circumstances and logical results connection
among leadership and performance. Leadership affects the many other aspects which are
explained in the following definitions
Gardner, (1990) In the process of leadership, the leader encourages his or her cliques
to pursue goals which are held by the leaders and his or her followers. Nelson and Quick
“The Relationship between Transformational, Transactional Leadership Styles and Employees
Performance Mediating Role of Culture Dimensions of Bankers In District D.I.Khan KPK Pakistan.” 16
(2006: 214) stated that a process which guides and directs the human behaviors in the job
location is called leadership. Leadership leads towards the achievement and effectiveness of
the members of an organization by facilitating and motivating them by a leader. ( House et
al., 1991: 184)
In an association the qualities the inspiration he needs the requirements the desires
and the desires for the leaders and the adherents are expected to attain with the help of
leadership process where leaders induce followers to act for the achievement of these goals
(Burns 1978: 19). The procedure in which an individual seeks after a gathering of people to
accomplish a shared objective is called leadership (Northhouse, 2001: 3)
The process of perusing individuals to be aware of what is to be done in an effective
manner by facilitating the individuals to achieve the shared objectives by making combined
efforts is called leadership (yukl, 2002: 7). However, all these definitions highlight two main
and important elements: relational perception and the procedure of encouraging others to act
in the right direction to achieve common goals (Locke 1990)
There is some evidence reported among followers i.e. employees and their leaders
(Roast, 1994). It means that leadership is not all about that what the leader performs but it's
about that what the leader and followers collectively perform. To achieve organizations
mission and objectives, active participation of leader and followers is essential. (calano. Pond
& kelloway 2001; Khan, Busari, Abdullah, Mughal (2018))
Hence the definition of leadership for this study is developed as:
“Leadership is a process where leader supports, facilitates, encourages and motivates
his followers by making strong relationship with his or her followers to improve the
individual execution and also in general execution of the association to accomplish the
hierarchical destinations”.
“The Relationship between Transformational, Transactional Leadership Styles and Employees
Performance Mediating Role of Culture Dimensions of Bankers In District D.I.Khan KPK Pakistan.” 17
The idea of leadership portrayed Eventually Tom's perusing a number of persons
toward diverse times,(Stogdill, 1974: 259).
As stated by burns (1978: 2) "leadership is practical may be a standout amongst The
greater part experiential and any rate, Seen phenomena around the earth". Likewise,
leadership needs a long, rich history over management; it will be furthermore around those
studied topics in organizational self-destructive thoughts and conduct furthermore a standout
amongst those. Any rate as caught on social forms within the organization (Avolio, 2002). As
stated by a bass. (1990) a widespread consented definition of leadership at present stays
subtle. Leadership effectiveness on the great holders kept all additionally seems will be a sign
in the initiative. Contemplate region (Fiedler, 1981; Yukl, 1998; Yukl, 2002).
Leadership term appears with a chance to be A critical a part of today's organization
in spite of the fact that a considerable measure for individuals bring attempted on characterize
administration alternately Significantly adequacy Yet it appears nobody needs to be
succeeded with giving acceptable an acknowledged result. Those challenges for defining
leadership might have been illustrated by Stogdill (1974)who recommended: "there needs aid
very nearly about leadership a significant number distinctive definitions for initiative
leadership ". moreover pointed out Leadership as a poorly characterized wonder (Northouse ,
2001). He, however, completed obviously separate the leader and leadership. The previous
will be a position; those last may be a methodology. Fisher (1985) writes, "Leadership may
be likely those A large portion composed around social wonder of everyone time", what's
more it may be still not great comprehended because of its multifaceted nature. In spite of
those differences, as stated by Popper also leadership is "a perplexing assignment in which
the conclusions would frequently the entire not quick or concrete".
As stated by Nahavandi (2009), those Different definitions of leadership stake three regular
elements:
“The Relationship between Transformational, Transactional Leadership Styles and Employees
Performance Mediating Role of Culture Dimensions of Bankers In District D.I.Khan KPK Pakistan.” 18
1) One assembly phenomenon;
2) Objective directed; what‟s more
3) Some structure of the chain of importance inside an aggregation. Combination this
perspective of administration may be those trouble over deciding cause Furthermore impact
relationship between leadership activities Also viability. However, those essential thoughts of
leadership. Following are some definitions of define by different researcher n different time
are as given. As influencing others may be reflected in the taking after definitions:
As per Nelson & Quick (2006) leadership is a managerial process of directing and provide a
vision to the peoples in work situation” .
It is the management of leader who motivate employees for work, and contribute his
skills for the achievement of organizational goal (House et al., 1999: 184).
Burn define leader a person who act for motivation and inspiration of employees and
his aim to get organizational goal effectively and efficiently (Burns, 1978: 19). When a group
of people is influenced by a person to work together in a team for specific objectives is called
leadership” (Northouse, 2001: 3).According to Yukl (2002) leaders motivate followers to
work together for achieving common goals of the organization through shared efforts is
called leadership.Overall, these definitions accentuate two real elements; rational concept.
The forms from claiming prompting others to detract movements towards a regular objective
(Locke, 1990).
Leadership is just important at their need aid pioneers Furthermore supporters.
This involves leaders to propel the supporters to accomplish up to the greatest
dimensions of execution so as to achieve the hierarchical objective or obvious adequacy
(Yukl, 2002). According to Rost (2003), leadership is a process of mutual working between
subordinates and leaders.
“The Relationship between Transformational, Transactional Leadership Styles and Employees
Performance Mediating Role of Culture Dimensions of Bankers In District D.I.Khan KPK Pakistan.” 19
It‟s necessary for the organization to achieve maximum output to develop active
participation by both leader and workers. When leaders and followers work together to
achieve common objectives of organizations is called leadership”. Leaders who fulfill the
imparted mission Furthermore acknowledge those dream of Those organization for backing
and support from those supporters will make evaluated similarly as should. Make that's only
the tip of the iceberg viable.
2.3 Leadership versus Management
It is reported by a number of researchers (Busari, 2011; Yukl, 2002; Khan, Mughal, &
Khattak, 2017)that contrast among supervisors and pioneers is that chief get things done in
the correct way while leaders are the individuals who do right things. The formal leader is
responsible for the effectiveness of the organization but it is possible only through with the
help of their subordinate. it is a fact that no leader can achieve the organizational goals with
their own Efforts.
This change might be illuminated as exercises of vision and choice, for example,
execution versus the exercises of learning schedules, for example, productivity (Khan et al.,
2017).
Bass (1985) offered a correct instance of the inclination with connection person
situated for terms or plans for an alternate. The point when demonstrating transformational
Also transactional leadership by using taking on these scopes with initiative and
management. For finishing so, bass (1985) utilized those haul comparative Structures Also
indicated the relationship between as many demonstrations about leaders styles.
“The Relationship between Transformational, Transactional Leadership Styles and Employees
Performance Mediating Role of Culture Dimensions of Bankers In District D.I.Khan KPK Pakistan.” 20
2.4 Classical Approaches of Leadership
Yukl (2002) leadership has gained popularity in management studies. This area will
examine evaluation for hypotheses What's more exact examination for established
administration methodologies what's more entryway it identified with initiative adequacy. It
is supportive of arranging the critiques of the hypotheses Also exact examination Likewise
completed Eventually Tom's perusing Bryman (1992) under those Emulating three
approaches.
2.4.1 Trait Theory
Concept from claiming hobby has been the individual's trademark theories, which
endeavored, will be distinguishing An set about qualities that power have on as An relatable
perspective. The individual's investigations were reliant upon the thought that authority was
born, not disturb. Punctual investigations for activity endeavored ahead. Health i.e. (height,
weight, physique, energy, health, show fate. Furthermore demographic characteristics of
leaders and extra abilities of the leaders.
The initial pattern of leadership (management) with the ones qualities about
outstanding leaders. The initiative might have been attributed of the as far as anyone knows
intrinsic qualities with which an individual will be destined. It might have been accepted that
though the qualities that divided leader from. Supporters Might be identified, great pioneers
Might be fast evaluated Also set under positions about the initiative. Analysts inspected
personality, physical, Furthermore mental. Aspects and the way will achievement might have
been essentially over recognizing the people who were. Destined should be an extraordinary
leader. Those qualities writing need furnished scores for surveys looking at. Distinctive
qualities Also characteristics, and the rundown about terms characterizing these qualities
appear. Perpetual (Goldstein, 1992).
“The Relationship between Transformational, Transactional Leadership Styles and Employees
Performance Mediating Role of Culture Dimensions of Bankers In District D.I.Khan KPK Pakistan.” 21
Until the late 1940s, exploration thoughtfulness regarding those issue from claiming
"leadership development". Furthermore "leadership effectiveness" might have been
concentrating on the interior state of authority (Chemers, 1995: 83). Exertions were
committed with elucidating heading toward kept tabs with respect to leaders‟. Regular
aspects Also the ability for example, such that influence, kindhearted vitality What's more
beneficial. Memory (Steers, Porter, & Bigley, 1996) an essential confirmation of looking into
administration. Viability examination throughout this duration of the time might have been
that An pioneers "lodges An position for Responsibility" to an aggregation (Stogdill, 1948:
64). Likewise, at some point of this time, discoveries have been. Being constructed toward
the hands for men assumed will make from claiming vitality also deserving of the festival.
Thusly there might have been significant enthusiasm toward the qualities of pioneers
as watched toward rank-and-file kin (Stogdill, 1948). Provided for those desires that
unrivaled qualities. Partitioned authority from followers, scientists then started will
concentrate on distinguishing the individuals. Qualities, which inevitably prompted those
introductions of trait theories of leadership.
2.4.2 Effectiveness of Leader with Respect to Situation
A further chronicled period frequently used to depict the activity. Research, as stated
by Chemers (1995) may be known as that possibility approaches. Starting with the. Late 1960
to till the 1980s, the possible method might have been propelled leader effectiveness the vast
majority. Compelling administration model Possibility "suggests that a leader's adequacy
relies upon for how great the leader's style fits the context" of the circumstance (Northouse,
2001: 75).
Hersey et al. (2001) what's additional Northouse (2001) deciphered the individuals
heading investigate throughout this. The span of the run throughout chance to be situational
“The Relationship between Transformational, Transactional Leadership Styles and Employees
Performance Mediating Role of Culture Dimensions of Bankers In District D.I.Khan KPK Pakistan.” 22
again procedure. As noted inevitably Tom's examining Chemers likewise rice (1973), the
individuals. Likelihood model propelled beginning for Fiedler‟s (1964) investigate.
Fiedler explores three variable further variables imperative should this approach: 1)
the relational relations between those leaders and supporter; 2) the vulnerability of the value
of exertion gathering's task Also objectives; 3) those. Leader's capacities on prize also punish.
The Examine proceeds of the current day Furthermore. The majority of the contemporary
heading hypotheses embraced throughout this chance moved. Thoughtfulness regarding the
thought that supporters Furthermore aggregation parts have particular and essential analytics
parts. In the initiative methodology.
2.4.3 Contemporary Approaches of Leadership
The number of leadership styles has been fallen under the umbrella of contemporary
leadership approaches such as charismatic, visionary leadership and transformational.It
appears to be that “charismatic” alternately „transformational‟. Authority hypotheses bring
gained an incredible consideration since the 1980s. Sometimes, Scholar alternately analyst in
initiative research will incorporate more than you quit offering on that one kind about
heading. Variable, as it may have alluded Likewise an integrator methodology.
For example those employments for transformational Furthermore transactional heading
approach with an attention that successful leader frequently all the show a mix of the two
(Avolio & Bass, 1991).
As stated by blazes (1978), the transactional heading will be the "traditional structure
from claiming. Leadership" in the connection from claiming organizations,
Potentials As opposed to self-interests in place with profit those relationships
(Doherty & Danylchuk, 1996; Yukl, 1989). Hence those discriminating undertaking here is
on separate. Between these two methodologies which will be shown in the taking after the
following section.
“The Relationship between Transformational, Transactional Leadership Styles and Employees
Performance Mediating Role of Culture Dimensions of Bankers In District D.I.Khan KPK Pakistan.” 23
It appears that „charismatic‟ or „transformational‟ authority hypotheses have gotten an
extraordinary consideration since the 1980s. Once in a while, scholar or scientist in initiative
examinations will incorporate in excess of one kind of authority variable.. Value-based
initiative methodology with a thought that powerful pioneers regularly show a mix of the two
(Avolio and Bass, 1991).
2.4.4 Transformational Leadership Theory
Transformational heading need being widely considered. Eventually, Tom's
examining many specialists should incorporate Just about at whatever kind of successful
leadership, in any case of them underlying methods. Rouche, dough puncher & rose (1989)
characterized transformational Leaders As far as the capacity of a pioneer should impact the
values, attitudes, beliefs, What's more practices of others Eventually Tom's perusing working
for Furthermore through them so as with finish those organization's mission Also dream.
Yukl (2002: 253) characterized the transformational initiative. As "the method approximately
influencing essential transforms within the attitudes furthermore presumptions approximately
about. Association parts What's more building dedication to those association's mission or
Objectives''. Transformational leadership methodologies would the individuals that impart
supporters with. Those personal longing will accomplish objectives.
This segment addresses the idea about transformational leadership about design it might have
been. Recognized Toward smolders (1978) additionally enlarged Eventually Tom's perusing
bass (1985), furthermore reviews research that needs. Tried those constructs linked with the
transformational administration, What's more, describes further. The parts for
transformational heading Bass (1985, 1990) need to be stretched out the idea of the
transformational initiative Over as much after the fact research, bass (1998: 5) likewise.
Recognized specific constructs connected with the administration that at used "inspire them.
The supporter with challenge furthermore influences giving implying Furthermore

Comprehension Stretching that followers‟ utilization of their abilities". These parts for
transformational. Administration incorporates ideate influence, individualized consideration,
motivational. Inspiration furthermore educated support incitement (Bass, 2000; Mughal &
Kamal,2018).
2.5 Definitions of Culture
The word culture is gotten from the Latin word culture which implies development
(Skeat 2010).
Culture can be defined as the collection of sets, values, communications, beliefs and
behavioral explanations that provides guidance and way of life to the people.
For many researchers like deal and Kennedy (1982), Peter and Waterman (1982) and
Kraeber and Kluckhohn (1952) Culture consists on the language, dressing, dressing,
ethics, Identities, Beliefs, ways of living, ways of thinking, customs and history etc.
Hofstede (2001, P.9) illustrates that the programming which is the collection of
mentality which differentiates the people of one group from another.
Trompenaars (1993) states that how the people act and react towards different facets,
the people give attention and value towards which things.
Culture is a structure of behaviors which give particular attributes to any society
(Zinkota and Ronkainen 2007)
Now a day‟s organizational culture got interrelation to organizational management.
(Kotter and Heskett, 1992).The two essential factors that are the stability of structure and
combination of an advanced set of organizational culture lead to good management of
organizational culture. (Schein, 1995) writes that there are many characteristics of
organizational culture which have been established among which set of beliefs, norms,
and values give perfect association. (Hodgetts and Luthans, 2003Robbins &Sanghi, 2007)
state that diverse background, racial differences, and ethics have a strong effect on
“The Relationship between Transformational, Transactional Leadership Styles and Employees
Performance Mediating Role of Culture Dimensions of Bankers In District D.I.Khan KPK Pakistan.” 25
organizational performanceand sustainability. Different kinds of cultures have been
defined as followed:
2.5.1 Counter Culture
The contribution of strong culture which is based on organizational performance leads
to a strong connection between management and performance. The shared beliefs and
values of strong organizational culture which forced to gain an advantage among different
management departments and managers come under countercultures. (Kerr, J., & Slocum,
J. W., Jr. 2005).
2.5.2 SubCulture
Subcultures have been characterized as association fragments the way of life with
various arrangements of qualities and convictions on premise of occupation necessities,
departmental objectives, and land regions. (Schein,1995) The authoritative duty of
workers influences upon culture..
2.5.3 Strong Culture
The equivalent kind of values and beliefs must be considered strong which an
employee holds in culture. When employees have a strong grip on the greater part of the
culture then the values and beliefs of the organization are considered strong (Deal and
Kennedy, 1982).
2.5.4 Weak Culture
The insecure knit of organizational cultures that help to approach ideas, feelings, and
viewpoints of individuals to be more innovative. The inexactly joined culture dependent
on qualities and convictions have a relationship with immaculate sets. (Deal and Kenndy
1982) The decent variety among individual objectives and authoritative objectives has the
innovative administration of controls and occasions with the goal that ideal association
has been framed among them.
“The Relationship between Transformational, Transactional Leadership Styles and Employees
Performance Mediating Role of Culture Dimensions of Bankers In District D.I.Khan KPK Pakistan.” 26
2.6 Organizational culture
This section looks into the organizational culture by defining its meanings, theories,
and approaches. According to Nongo (2012) declared that it is critical to understand the
culture of any civilization or group. Individuals come into groups through the process of
socialization. Groups having the same culture have the ability to form, manipulate and
establish group members‟ point of views, yields thoughts and indeed performance.
Burns and Stalker (1961) described the mechanistic and organic forms of
organizations. They also divided the environment into two types, a stable environment, and
unstable environment. They resembled the mechanistic organizations with the stable
environment due to conventional bureaucratic form and resembled the organic organizations
with an unstable environment based on specialized awareness approach. The livelihood,
ambitions, situations, area of learning, educational altitude and indications of employed
people are the indicators of culture.
The term organizational culture came into view in business studies around the 1970s.
In the beginning, the three different terminologies were taken into the same sense.
Organizational culture, organizational climate, and corporate culture but in 1980s many
scholars including Schein (1984) criticized that the organizational climate is a totally
different form of Organizational culture and corporate culture.
Many definitions are given by many scholars such as deal and Kennedy (1982), Hofstede
(1980), Schein (1992) & Trompenaars and Hampolentunner (1997). By combining all the
definitions there are some common thoughts which are found in all these definitions. These
are
1. The item which keeps the organization and its employees together and is based on
shared values and beliefs.
“The Relationship between Transformational, Transactional Leadership Styles and Employees
Performance Mediating Role of Culture Dimensions of Bankers In District D.I.Khan KPK Pakistan.” 27
2. Organizational culture gives direction and supervision to the employees about the rules
and regulations of the organization either these are mentioned or not.
3. It gives the identification and sense of belongingness to the employees which are most
important.
Deal and Kennedy (1982) give their opinion about the organizational culture that
organizational culture is made up of values but it also includes working surroundings, heroes,
rites and rituals and cultural networks.
Values: every culture has its own opinion about good or bat, common or uncommon,
attractive or unattractive and rational and irrational.
Heroes: are the crucial folks who are liked by all.
Rites/Rituals: the customs which represents well-built representative powers.
The cultural network: The communication system which is informal.
White (1998) writes that while looking at the definitions of organizational culture one thing is
notable that the researchers pay more attention to values. However, Hofstede (2001, 1999)
give his opinion that the practices in the organization are more important than values. Peter
and Waterman (1982)argues that employees allocate the same set of beliefs and opinions in
the organization where culture is strong.
2.6.1 Formation of Organization Culture
Scholars started to focus on organizational culture at the beginning of the 1970s
(Hofstede, 1970; Pettigrew. 1979; Ouchi, 1981; Dead & Kennedy, 1982; Peters & Waterman,
1982). Some of the important aspects for selecting organization culture have an effect are
objectives, history, ownership, environment, size, person, and technologies (Handy, 1984).
Dead and Kennedy (1982) proposed that there are two factors which have an effect
on organizational culture. One is the risk which is linked to activities of the organization, the
speed at which employees and their organization get the success of planning and decisions.
“The Relationship between Transformational, Transactional Leadership Styles and Employees
Performance Mediating Role of Culture Dimensions of Bankers In District D.I.Khan KPK Pakistan.” 28
Some additional factors such as the structure of ownership, size of the company and
technologies also affect the organizational culture (handy, 1980).
According to the theory of organizational structure, there are two types of
organizations Tall and flat organizations. The organizational culture will be based on the
structure of the organization. Both tall and flat organizations have their different cultures
(Thompson, 1993). Tall organizations focus on labor division, specialization in the job, and
well defined internal policies. While flat companies have normally simple procedures and
focus on two leaderships with strong authority (Greiner &Scheien, 1989). However, in these
two types of organizations, the type of leadership and heroes‟ power would be different.
2.6.2 Approaches to Organizational Culture
Different approaches to organizational culture have been introduced in this section.
Schein (2010) states that just people and style are not the assumptions of culture but policies,
structures systems are also the assumptions of the culture.
2.6.3 Interpretive versus functionalist
Two different aspects of organizational culture, anthropological aspect versus
sociological aspect has been introduced by many scholars such as smirich (1983), Cameron
and getting to (1988) and Cameron and Quinn (2011).
According to this approach, there are two groups of organizational cultures, the first
group is related to answer the questions that what the organizations are while the second
group is related to the questions that what do organizations have. according to smirich (1983)
and Cameron and Quinn (2011), there is a difference between the cultures of two
organizations as one takes the culture as anthropology (metaphor) while the other one takes
the culture as sociology .two different approaches have been developed within each of these
two groups.
“The Relationship between Transformational, Transactional Leadership Styles and Employees
Performance Mediating Role of Culture Dimensions of Bankers In District D.I.Khan KPK Pakistan.” 29
One is a functionalist approach which is based on the collections ob behaviors while
the other approach which is called semiotic approach is based on individualism. The two
approaches also categorize the culture in two different kinds of variables, dependent and
independent variables, functionalist approach considers the culture in the category of
dependent variable while the interpretive approach takes the culture as the independent
variable.
Many scholars have adopted these two approaches by checking the results that which
one is best. The functionalist approach has gained popularity among Ouchi (1981) peters and
Waterman (1982) and deal and Kennedy (1982). The interpretive approach was adopted by
scholars like Gregory (1983) smirich (1983) Morgan et al (1988) Anthony (1994) meek
(1988). Broudfield et al (1998) state that the studies of all these researchers explored that how
culture is experienced by the employees in organizations.
2.6.4 Martin and Myerson’s (1987) Framework
Some of the scholars like Martin and Meyerson (1987) assume the organizations as
cultures and that they study the tradition from the anthropological point of view.
These researchers introduced three main paradigms of organizational culture.
1. Integration
The first paradigm is integration which has the three main characteristics.
Consistency: is related to those manifestations of culture that are in harmony with
each other.
Consensus: among members represents that there is a similar point of view of all
members of the organization.
Leaders as creators: The primary sources of cultural content are the leaders of the
organization that's why they are the creators of culture.
“The Relationship between Transformational, Transactional Leadership Styles and Employees
Performance Mediating Role of Culture Dimensions of Bankers In District D.I.Khan KPK Pakistan.” 30
2. Differentiation
In contrast to integration, the differentiation paradigm means diversity or variety, which
doesn't focus on consistencies consensuses and doesn't take leaders as the creators of culture.
Paradigm one is totally based on the inside influences of culture which is the concept of the
closed structure while paradigm two is based on the significant impact of inside as well as
outside influences which is known as the concept of open structure.
3. Fragmentation
Paradigm three is believed in uncertainty and ambiguity. The concept of this paradigm is
separate from both of the paradigms. According to Martin et al (2006)
“The spirit of any culture is insidious ambiguity”
2.7 Organizational performance
In the 1980s the construct of organizational performance was open to doubt for
scholars. The organizational performance was viewed as the power of production in early
stages .for example Katz and khan (1966) elaborated the organizational performance as best
possible financial technological and effective return to the organization.
According to researchers such as Taylor (1911) Fayol (1916) and mayo (1933) the
maximization of productivity, minimization of costs and excellence in technology can be
achieved through good organizational performance. Later on, the performance was taken as
the alike to organizations overall aim. Some scholars Eetzioni (1964), Price (1968), Cambell
(1977) delimited the organizational performance as put in an effect of organizational goals.
Penning and Goodman (1977) depict that performance is effectual if the organization is
satisfying the rules and principles of organizations. Cameron (1983) and hall (1972)
demonstrate that the evaluation of the success of the organization in attaining its goals is
called organizational performance. however, the organizational model is used to measure the
significance (Goodman & penning,1980).
“The Relationship between Transformational, Transactional Leadership Styles and Employees
Performance Mediating Role of Culture Dimensions of Bankers In District D.I.Khan KPK Pakistan.” 31
But the Cameron and whetton1983, Goodman and pening1980,zammutu1982,
furthermore, zammuto"s (1982) argue that it can be problematic because employs will focus
on their own development and career and not on organizational performance .according to
(zammutu 1982) there are two main factors, organizational culture, and timeframe that affect
the organizational performance.
According to Ojo.O (2008), various studies prove that from last few decades the
impact of organizational culture on performance is observed. Argued by Shahzad, Luqman,
Khan, &Shabbir (2012). When the employees contribute their services and when they are
committed and having similar norms and values as per organizations have, it leads to the
success of the organization. The positive relationship is examined by the Aluko (2003)
between organizational culture and employee's performance and found that when an
organization has a weak culture then employees don't perform very well together. Lack of
participation is also observed in the organizations where culture is a week.
2.7.1 Factors contributing to organizational performance
An importance to give thought to organizational performance is to search about the
factors which affect the organizational performance. The scholars have been introduced so
many factors out of which there are several factors such as characteristics of employees,
environment, organizational culture, job satisfaction, practices, and policies etc. which are
taken as important by the scholar ( Berson & Linton 2005).
According to Christensen and overlord (2000), the organizational characteristics
affect the performance. The organizational structure has a great impact on
performance (Zila 2001).
Davis et al (2000) had taken the job satisfaction as an important factor because when
employees in their workplace are satisfied they will give effective performance side
by side they will also increases the performance of the association (organization).
“The Relationship between Transformational, Transactional Leadership Styles and Employees
Performance Mediating Role of Culture Dimensions of Bankers In District D.I.Khan KPK Pakistan.” 32
The internal and external environment also plays a vital role in organizational
performance because the important changes and adjustments have to make by the
organizations internally and externally (Heffered and Flood 2000).
Characteristics of human beings are also important factors which affect the
organizational performance (kellogy, et al 2006).
Research conducted by Kaplan and Nortan (2001) depicts that human being plays a
effective role in the achievement of objectives of the organization.
Same written by Lawrence and Robinson (2007) that organizational performance will
be negatively affected if a conflict occurs between organization and personnel. So job
conflict is a factor that affects the organizational performance.
There are some other factors discussed by Preffer (2005) which affect the
organizational performance. These include job satisfaction, organizational
commitment, avoiding conflict about goals, avoiding role conflict and sense of
belongingness.
Ricardo and wade (2001) state that policies and strategies of management are also a
very important thing that contributes to the result of performance because weak
management will create wastage of financial and human resources of the organization.
(steersman& Corley 2000).
2.8 Impact of organizational culture on performance
In 1982, Peters and Waterman conducted a standardized research which will compare
the relationship between organizational way of life (culture) and performance. Deal and
Kennedy defined the organizational culture in 1982 that the organizational culture affects the
structure of the organization, personnel and organizational motives which influence
organizational success and performance.
“The Relationship between Transformational, Transactional Leadership Styles and Employees
Performance Mediating Role of Culture Dimensions of Bankers In District D.I.Khan KPK Pakistan.” 33
Schein (2010) described that there are many organizational issues which are answered
by the organizational culture, even when new employees join the organization they must
learn about the culture of the organization to perform well.
Frost (1985) gives resemblance to the organizational culture with glue that it holds the
many components of organizations together. He also says that the organizational culture is
important in decision making. While other many studies proved that the decision making
plays a very important role in organizations best performance.
Luthans (1995) writes that a deep interaction can be perceived between organizational
culture and organizational performance, based on two main factors shared-ness and intensity.
Shared-ness refers to when some core values are shared by all the members of organization
and intensity means strength which refers to the commitment of all members to those values
are shared.
After studying the 22 types of research on organizational performance and culture
Bogg (2004) concluded that there is a strong connection between culture and organizational
performance. Many researchers such as deal and Kennedy (1982), Peters and Waterman
(1982) Demir et al (2011) given their opinions that customs, beliefs and shared values are
important factors to maintain good performance and all these components are the elements of
strong and well-built culture.
Three grammatical paradigms such as integration, differentiation, and fragmentation
are introduced by Martin (1992). She studied the organizational performance in the light of
these three paradigms. The first paradigm is integration which has the three principal
characteristics. Integration consists of consistency, consensus, and leaders as creators even as
Consistency is related to those manifestations of culture that are in harmony with each other.
The consensus among members represents that there is a similar point of view of all members
of the organization. Leaders as creators: The primary sources of cultural content are the
“The Relationship between Transformational, Transactional Leadership Styles and Employees
Performance Mediating Role of Culture Dimensions of Bankers In District D.I.Khan KPK Pakistan.” 34
leaders of the organization that's why they are the creators of culture. In contrast to
integration, the differentiation paradigm means diversity or variety, which doesn't focus on
consistencies consensuses and doesn't take leaders as the creators of culture. Paradigm one is
totally based on the inside influences of culture which is the concept of the closed structure
while paradigm two is based on the significant impact of inside as well as outside influences
which is known as the concept of open structure. Fragmentation Paradigm is believed in
uncertainty and ambiguity. The concept of this paradigm is separate from both of the
paradigms. The spirit of any culture is insidious ambiguity.
On the other hand, Broadfiled et al (1998) contend that there is less thought regarding
the connection between organizational culture and hierarchical execution (organizational
performance). Peters and Waterman (1982) also had given some illustrations in which they
state that we had not observed reasonable and consistent relationships among organizational
culture and organizational performance. Broadfiled et al (1998) argue that there are two
major problems in the research of peters and waterman. First one is that the other researchers
have raised questions about their methods of measurements and second is that some of the
companies adopted their researches as an example to improve performance by improving
organizational culture but they got financial problems.
Beside all these arguments Gordon and Ditomaso (1992) noted that strong and well-
built organizational culture is the key for organizational success. Denison et al (2004) also
communicated that short-term success in any organization can be achieved by organizational
culture.
“The Relationship between Transformational, Transactional Leadership Styles and Employees
Performance Mediating Role of Culture Dimensions of Bankers In District D.I.Khan KPK Pakistan.” 35
2.9 Theories relate the organizational culture to organizational
performance
There are theories which cover the literature review. These theories relate the
organizational culture to organizational performance (Nadler M & Nadler D., 1998).
Although there are many theories this research depends on three primary speculations, for
example, The Schein's hypothesis of organizational culture, McGregor's Theory X and
Theory Y, and the John Stack's hypothesis (theory) of Open-Book Management.
Organizational culture is the inside condition of an organization. The phenomenon which is
found in the individuals and around the individuals is covered and explained by these
theories. The values of an organizational culture are intangible because these can't be seen but
these values greatly affect the behavior of human beings and on the environment of the
organization. The environment of working places can be strengthening by the strong
organizational culture (Ojo 2008).
2.9.1 Schein's theory of organizational culture
The model of authoritative culture proposed by Schein is a standout amongst the most
refer to models on culture. It serves the elevated concept and also reduces complexity. It
consists of three main domains
basic underlying assumptions
espoused beliefs
artifacts
She differentiates the noticeable and unnoticeable cultural elements. These are also called the
observable and unobservable behaviors. According to Schein, observable behaviors influence
unobservable behaviors and are also influenced by unobservable behaviors.
the surface level of an organizational culture are the Artifacts, these include the manufactured
goods physical surroundings, verbal communication, machinery, tools, outfits, legends and
“The Relationship between Transformational, Transactional Leadership Styles and Employees
Performance Mediating Role of Culture Dimensions of Bankers In District D.I.Khan KPK Pakistan.” 36
memories, posted values, custom, and ceremonies, and so forth and a lot of these are tangible,
effortlessly seen and felt. Espoused values come next in the hierarchy of organizational
culture, including desires, techniques, shared assumptions, shared perceptions, ideals, norms,
and values stimulated by using the leaders and founders.
Some of the assumptions are the base level of organizational culture which are not
visible but these are granted conjectures that are shared with others. The risk taken on these
assumptions would result in anxiety and anger. Organizations just not focus on the visible
elements only because it can cause failure when invisible assumptions are ignored.
2.9.2Theory X and Theory Y
In1960 the McGregor built up a hypothetical perspective of mankind with his Theory
X and Theory Y. McGregor's hypothesis (theory) depends on the need hypothesis of
Maslow's progression. In which he partitioned the Maslow's chain of command into two
principle gatherings. One is a lower level need which comes in (theory X) while the other is a
higher level need which comes in (theory Y).according to him these two theories can be used
by the management in order to motivate their employees. He also suggested that the use of
(theory Y) can give better results as compare to (Theory Y). These two are opposite
structures. Visible organizational structures such as strategies, goals, rules and behaviors and
invisible structures such as thoughts, perceptions, ideas, and feelings. Visible organizational
structures are called Espoused justifications while invisible organizational structures are
called the Ultimate source of values and actions.
2.9.3 The theory of Open-Book Management (OBM)
Jack Stack, (2003) states that the company should give the right to the all of
employees to raise their voice about the operation of the business, right and wrong, good and
bad. According to Jack Stack job descriptions must be defined to all of the employees and all
they must know about their roles. These are the most profitable and efficient way to run the
“The Relationship between Transformational, Transactional Leadership Styles and Employees
Performance Mediating Role of Culture Dimensions of Bankers In District D.I.Khan KPK Pakistan.” 37
business. Open book management theory gives the opinion that everyone in the organization
should be given the chance and power to share their ideas to make money and achieve
organizational goals. Case (2003) describes that the social and organizational environment
cause changes in the managerial approaches. The case further argues that the open book
management system realizes the employees their worth.
This literature covers the relevant study according to the study area about leadership
and approaches with theoretical as well ancient perspective. After further, study suggests that
relationship between areas of study with the definition of leadership effectiveness. This study
research on various theories about leadership emergence approaches and discoursed. This
study concerns with the model full rage leaderships by Bass and Avolio‟s, this model
described clearly transitional and transformation styles.
2.10 Relationship between Leadership Styles, Performance and Culture
Wongyanon (2015) conducted a study on leadership styles and performance. Factors
of leadership styles were extensively utilized on this study. Factors have direct connection
with performance. In the same way, inspirational motivation has a positive relationship with
performance. In addition Gadot (2005) found a strong positive relationship between
transformational leadership styles and its facets idealized influence behavior and idealized
influenced attribute, intellectual stimulation, individual consideration and inspirational
motivational with employees performance. Bass (1985) has developed a questionnaire on
leadership styles after that relationship between leadership styles and performance are found
strong and significant. Bass (1997) claimed that transformational leaders can increase the
performance of the employees or followers by treating their employees as an individual
(individual consideration) and framing their work as meaningful intellectual stimulation).
According to Shamir (1991) explained that transformational leaders are key for motivation to
increase the performance of followers. Wang et al., (2005) conducted a study on
“The Relationship between Transformational, Transactional Leadership Styles and Employees
Performance Mediating Role of Culture Dimensions of Bankers In District D.I.Khan KPK Pakistan.” 38
transformational leadership and follower's performance and explained that transformational
leaders have an influence on followers to achieve exceptional performance. In addition,
Conger and Kunnungo (1993) claimed that transformational leaders have an influence on the
organization as well as employees performance. These claims have been confirmed by the
number of studies that there is a strong relationship between transformational leadership and
performance (Wang et al., 2011). Lim and Polyhart (2004) reported direct relation. It is
therefore useful that how leaders influence, motivate and stimulate their followers to perform
their duties well in day to day operations in the organization.
H1a: Transformational leadership style factors (IIA, IIB, IS, IM, IC) has direct
relation with performance.
H1b: idealized influence behavior has a direct relation with performance.
H1c: idealized influence attitude has a direct relation with performance.
H1d: individual consideration has a direct relation with performance.
H1e: intellectual stimulation has a direct relation with performance.
H1f: inspirational motivation has a direct relation with performance.
According to the research of Ben, et al. (2012) has direct and weak relation with
variables. Busari (2011) carried out a have a look at on leadership styles and discovered that
transformational and transactional leadership styles have effective results on performance and
effectiveness of employees but transactional leadership and the contingent reward was found
more effective in bringing effective performance in organizations. In support Howell and
Avolio (1993) conducted a study on 78 managers and found that individual consideration and
intellectual stimulation were positively related with the performance but in transactional
leadership contingent reward and management by exception active is negatively related with
performance while management by exception passive is positively related with performance.
Moreover, Krishnan (2005) carried out a observe at the chief-member trade or (leader-
“The Relationship between Transformational, Transactional Leadership Styles and Employees
Performance Mediating Role of Culture Dimensions of Bankers In District D.I.Khan KPK Pakistan.” 39
member trade), transformational management, and transactional leadership and found that
these two types are stronger predictors of performance of followers and employees. Shelter
and Bass (1990) and Yammarina, Spangler, and Bass (1993) reported significant results
among the variables studied.
Butler, Cantrell, and Flick (1999) also reported the same results. Brown and Dodd
(1999) reported that there is a strong relationship between transactional leadership and
performance. In addition, Thite (1999) claimed that those managers who have idealized
influence and intellectual stimulation and used contingent reward has more productive
employees and their performance is recorded higher than other employees performance. In
Bass and Avolio (1995) study on reported that transactional leadership, contingent reward,
management by exception active and management by exception passive are negatively
related with the performance so on the basis of above discussion following hypotheses are
developed.
H2a: transactional leadership styles have a direct relation with performance.
H2b: contingent reward has a direct relation with performance.
H2c: management by exception active has a direct relation with performance.
H2d: management by exception passive has a direct relation with performance.
It is evident from the studies that leadership styles and its dimensions i.e. transformational
and transactional leadership styles are correlated with performance
2.10.2 Mediating Role of Culture between the Relationship of Leadership Styles and
Employees Performance
It is evident from the studies that leadership styles and its dimensions i.e.
transformational and transactional leadership styles and it elements are associated with
organizational performance but in few studies it was not related with the performance and
other variables like organization citizenship behavior and job satisfaction but it has indirect
“The Relationship between Transformational, Transactional Leadership Styles and Employees
Performance Mediating Role of Culture Dimensions of Bankers In District D.I.Khan KPK Pakistan.” 40
effect by using some mediating variables like culture (Hutahayan et al., 2013). According to
Al sardiehs (2012) reported that there is the mediating effect of culture on the relationship
between transformational leadership and transactional leadership styles and performance. In
addition, Grondutse and Hilman (2015) used organization culture on leadership and ethics
and found that culture does acts as a mediator between leadership and ethics. Moreover, Lin
(2009) conducted a study on the effect of leadership and organizational culture on
innovativeness and reported that culture is acting as mediator Also, Shehu and Mehmood
(2014) conducted a study on entrepreneurship orientation and performance using
organizational culture as mediator. PLS was used for statistical analysis and results found that
organizational culture acts as a mediator between orientation and performance. Studies
conducted by Zhang et al, (2009) organization culture acts as a mediator between
organizational commitment and performance. While Wongyanon et al (2015) found that
“organizational culture affects the relationship between transformational and transactional
leadership styles and their attributes and performance”. According to Aguayo (2012)
conducted a study on Mexican managers and found that culture effects performance of
employees. In the same way, Sturnman (2012) conducted a study on the effect of culture and
performance and turnover intention and found that culture effects performance. Also,
Nazarian (2013) conducted a study on the relationship between leadership, national culture,
and performance and found that culture acts as a mediator as well as a moderator between
leadership and performance. So from the above discussion, it is clear that there is a
relationship between organizational culture, transformational leadership style, and
transactional leadership style and performance. Soon the bases of the above discussion
following hypotheses are developed.
“The Relationship between Transformational, Transactional Leadership Styles and Employees
Performance Mediating Role of Culture Dimensions of Bankers In District D.I.Khan KPK Pakistan.” 41
H3: There is a indirect relation of culture transformational (IIA, IIB, IS, IM, IC) and
performance.
H4: There is a indirect relation of culture transactional leadership styles factors (CR,
MEA, MEP) and performance.
Mohammed et al., (2012) conducted a study on demographic factors named socio
demographic factors and transformational leadership style and found that
transformational leadership does not depend on demographic factors. The results of
Mohammed et al., (2012) also explained that education and marital status does not
influence transformational leaders. Also, Avolio (1995) reported that males have
shown higher transformational leadership style as compared to women leaders.
. H5: There is a mean difference among demographic variables and transformational,
transactional styles, culture, and performance.

2.11 Theories of Mediation
People always ask the question about mediation. Rungtusanatham, Miller, and Boyer
(2014) explained this issue regarding how formal Hypothesis for mediation effects are
developed and articulated.
He recommended two approaches which are one is segmentation and second one is
transmittal approaches. In adopting the segmentation approach, there is three hypotheses.
These are -H1) independent variable(X) effects mediator (M), H2) mediator (M) effects
outcome variable (Y) and H3) mediator effect (eg: M mediators the relationship between X
and Y). The paper which has used segmentation approach are Zhou, Benton, Schilling and
Milligan (2011), Pulraj (2011) and WU, Choi, and Rungtusanatham (2010).
The transmittal needs a single Hypothesis stating that mediator (M) mediates the
relationship between X and Y without going deep into hypothesis relating X to M and M to
Y. Rungtusanatham (2001), and Sarkis, Gonzalez-Torre, and Adenso-Diaz (2010) are some
example for theorizing mediation model related to transmitted approach. It is strongly
recommended for researchers to real thoroughly Rungtusanatham et al. (2014).
They will benefit to articulate meditational hypotheses.

Research methodology
3.1 Introduction to the Chapter
This chapter discusses the methodology used to carry out this research. Its discussion
topic includes research design, population, and sample used in this study, ethical
consideration taken for this research and result of the „pilot test‟ conducted “as well as the
statistical tests that were used to analyze the data collected”.
3.2 Research Philosophies
There are different scholars presented different philosophies in different times for
example objectivism, subjectivism, positivism, interpretivism (Sauders et al., 2003). But
Creswell (2009) renamed the two philosophies as a worldview and named it to post-
positivism and phenomenology. Post-positivism believes in social reality and facts and
figures it is used in quantitative approaches while phenomenology is used for "behind the
scene" used in qualitative studies. This study used post-positivism worldview because of
quantitative in nature.
“The Relationship between Transformational, Transactional Leadership Styles and Employees
Performance Mediating Role of Culture Dimensions of Bankers In District D.I.Khan KPK Pakistan.” 45
3.1.1 Research Onion
3.2 Research Design
This research was carried out quantitatively using adopted and modified
questionnaires and then distributing them among the targeted population of this study.
According to Fink (2003) and Hagan (2006), the Quantitative approach is usually used by
the researchers to conduct a survey from a small group or sample and make a
generalization of the findings of the population. Neale, Allen, and Coombes (2005) as
cited from Martin and Stenner (2004) indicated that “If the researcher desires to acquire
reproducibility and generalizability, qualitative techniques must be avoided and suitable
quantitative techniques should be used”. Therefore, as this research was also conducted to
achieve generalization of the findings with the ones obtained by this survey to the larger
“The Relationship between Transformational, Transactional Leadership Styles and Employees
Performance Mediating Role of Culture Dimensions of Bankers In District D.I.Khan KPK Pakistan.” 46
population. So the quantitative approach was used as the most appropriate way to carry out
this particular research.
This study employed a survey method approach. Babbie (2002) stated that in the
studies of social sciences survey method is very popular and is used by the researcher to
study the population that is too large to be observed directly. (Mitchell & Jolley, 1992) stated
that People's belief, attitudes, and self-reported behavior are one of the most studied topics
through survey method. Moreover, This method is very suitable for describing the population
using a small group(sample). Furthermore, as this exploration is directed to evaluate the
respondents' impression of the initiative styles employed by their leaders'. So it is appropriate
for this study to be conducted through survey method approach. The advantage of this
method is that it allows accurate, step-to-step development and testing of logical explanation
(Babbie, 1990). Moreover, this method allows easier collection of data from a sample which
is later be used by the researcher to generalize about the population (Kerlinger& Lee, 2000).
Therefore, the employment of the survey method is very suitable for the researcher, as it will
enable him to provide a generalization of the findings for the particular research.
Apart from that, convenience sampling was used in this study to acquire a sample for
this study. According to Sekaran (2003), this method of sampling refers to collecting data
from those members of the targeted population who are available to the researcher. It is very
likely to be the best method to collect data in a fast and efficient manner (Sekaran, 2003). As
in some scenarios employees who are to be surveyed are unavailable during the questionnaire
distribution and collection period due to various reasons which include, attending training
courses or meetings and were on vacation or sick leaves. Hence, here the convenience
sampling approach was deemed to be the most appropriate for the collection of data for this
study. Through this approach, the researcher can easily collect the completed questionnaire
from those employees who are currently available in a short time period.
“The Relationship between Transformational, Transactional Leadership Styles and Employees
Performance Mediating Role of Culture Dimensions of Bankers In District D.I.Khan KPK Pakistan.” 47
Additionally, this was also a cross-sectional study whereby the data is collected from
respondents through this questionnaire for only one time. According to Sekaran (2003), such
type of studying is also known as one short.

3.3 Research Location, Population, and Sample
A total of 64 branches who gave their permission to the researcher for the research
were the location of this study. They allowed the researcher to distribute the questionnaires
among their employees. These employees were of all levels from the Public and Private
Banks were from this research's population, While the sample of this research was randomly
selected employees of all level of these 64 branches. The researcher was able to collect a total
of 319 samples for this research.
The population is a complete set containing all the individuals, items or events who
are subject to be analyzed (Johnson & Kuby, 2004) while the sample is a subset or part of this
population. Riley, Wood, Clarke, Wilkie, and Szivas (2000) suggested that a sample or a
small group can be used to acquire information about the characteristic of a larger group or
population. As the targeted population is generally too large to be studied, it is an impossible
task for researchers to collect data from all the population. Therefore, researchers typically
collect data from a subset or part of the population generally called sample, for generalizing
the findings to the targeted population. According to Schumacher and McMillan (1993),
researchers have to determine a suitable sample size which gives the researcher sufficient
data to answer the hypotheses of his study
Sekaran and Bougie (2013) claimed that if the size of the research sample is too large
(e.g, over 500) it will lead to researchers being likely to commit Type II error. Type II errors
refer to one accepting the findings of the research when the findings supposed to be rejected.
Therefore, Suggested sample size range that is considered as appropriate for most research is
between 30 and 500.
Moreover, regarding the method to decide a studies sample size Sekaran and
Bougie (2013) stated that many researchers have multiple or several variables
whereby the questions arise on the sample size needed to satisfy it so Sekaran and
“The Relationship between Transformational, Transactional Leadership Styles and Employees
Performance Mediating Role of Culture Dimensions of Bankers In District D.I.Khan KPK Pakistan.” 49
Bougie (2013) who greatly helped the researchers to make sample size decisions
easier by providing a table that ensures the right sample size selection for a research.
The table by Krejcie and Morgan (1970).
According to Krejcie and Morgan (1970), with the expanding interest for research,
there is a need to build up a proficient technique to decide the sample size that is sufficient to
represent a given population. Krejcie and Morgan (1970) came up with a table that can be
used to determine sample size sufficient to describe a population. The table by Krejcie and
Morgan (1970) shows that with the increase in population the sample size will likewise
increment however at a lessening rate and will stay consistent around marginally more than
380.
On the other hand, Kent (1993) suggested that for a quantitative analysis, the sample
should be collected from 100 respondents while other scholars such as Ruddick, Sherwood,
and Stevens (1983) suggested that the sample size should have 40 respondents (minimum)
and the researcher is likely to obtain diminishing return as his sample size increases beyond
300. The suggestion by Ruddick, Sherwood and Stevens (1983) were similar with those of
Krejcie and Morgan (1970) as the former claimed that researcher will obtain diminishing
returns if the sample size goes beyond about 300 while the latter claimed that as the
population increases, so will the sample size increase but will be at a diminishing rate when
more than 380.
A sample size of 319 was obtained in this study which was considered appropriate for
this study as it covered the minimum sample size of 40 as per suggested by Ruddick,
Sherwood, and Stevens (1983) as well as the sample size of 100 as suggested by Kent (1983).
Moreover, the sample size of 319 is also considered as sufficient for this study as scholars
such as Ruddick, Sherwood, and Stevens (1983) claimed that the researcher obtains
diminishing returns as the sample size is going beyond about 300. while Krejcie and Morgan
“The Relationship between Transformational, Transactional Leadership Styles and Employees
Performance Mediating Role of Culture Dimensions of Bankers In District D.I.Khan KPK Pakistan.” 50
(1970) claimed that as there is an increase in population the sample size would also increase
but at a diminishing rate and would remain constant around slightly more than 380 cases.
Furthermore, the sample size of 319 is also considered as appropriate as Sekaran and Bougie
(2013) claimed that for the most researches the sample size between 30 to 500is appropriate.
In 1970 Krejcie& Morgan (p.608) produced a table for determining sample size for the finite
population.
Table3.1: Required Sample Size
(Given A Finite Population, Where N = Population Size and n = Sample Size)
3.4 Research Instrument
A self-administered questionnaire was employed in this research. This questionnaire
includes a pre-formulated set of questions of which respondents were asked to answer with
the closely defined alternatives (Sekaran, 2003).
in line with Sekaran (2003), the questionnaire is an effective facts gathering method
because it lets in the researcher to is aware of correctly what's required and how he can
measure the variable that is of his interest (Sekaran, 2003). Sekaran (2003) further explained
that one of its main advantages is the short time period utilized by the researcher to collect

the completed questionnaire. In addition, these methods allow the researcher to acquire data
from a large group easily while it itself is less expensive and less time-consuming in
comparison to other methods such as mailing questionnaires and telephone interviews
(Sekaran, 2003). Moreover, researchers can easily acquire a large number of respondents for
his research.
However, the main disadvantage of this method is that the research's targeted
organization is usually very reluctant to give their company time to distribute the survey
questionnaire among its employees. On the other hand, this method is also not able to explain
the questionnaire of the respondents. Sullivan (2001) also pointed out that by utilizing a
questionnaire, the researcher is not able to observe the nonverbal response of the respondents
and neither is there guarantee who answered the questionnaire.
For this research self-administered questionnaires were handed personally by the
researcher to the person in charge of the targeted organization after permission was granted.
Who would distribute them to the other employees?
The questionnaire employed in this research was made up of 4 sections, (section A, B,
C, and D). The closed-ended questionnaire was employed for which predefined options were
given to answer. The respondents of this research were required to give answers according to
their own situation. The questionnaire was constructed in English to ensure that research
participants are able to easily understand as well as truthfully give an answer to these
questionnaires.
3.4.1 Designation of Questionnaire

3.5 Ethical Considerations
One of the most essential ethics that a researcher must follow while conducting a
research is to inform the respondents that they have the right to withdraw themselves from
the research at any time. In this study, an opt-out consent form was used whereby the
participant of this research agreed to complete questionnaires and hand over the completed
questionnaires to the researcher for this study. The front page of the questionnaire
contained information like research title, research scope, the researcher's email address,
and the researcher's contact number. As this would allow the participant to know about the
research as well as allows them to contact the researcher in case they have some inquiries
related to the research or if they have any intention to withdraw from the research. It was
also mentioned on the front page of the questionnaire that the respondent's identity will
remain anonymous and data collected will be for private use and will be kept confidential.
Hence, any question that was related to asking the personal information of the respondents
such as name, address and contact number was not used in this research. Additionally, the
result of every individual completed questionnaire will be kept confidential. The collected
data whether is in the form of hard copy such as paper or soft copy in the form of
comprised raw data stored in hard disk will only be available for the researcher and the
“The Relationship between Transformational, Transactional Leadership Styles and Employees
Performance Mediating Role of Culture Dimensions of Bankers In District D.I.Khan KPK Pakistan.” 53
supervisor to view for 3 years. After which the data in the form of hard copy or paper will
be shredded and the data in the form of a soft copy or on disk will be deleted.
3.6 Reliability Analysis
Reliability is a measure used to check the consistency of the gathered information of
an investigation (Sarantakos, 1993; Schumacher and McMillan, 1993; Babbie, 2002 and
Bryman & Bell, 2003).
Sekaran (2003) further explained that reliability proves that the collected data does
not contain bias answers and consistency of measurement is ensured across time and various
other items of the instrument. On the other hand, Field (2009) indicated that reliability is used
to check whether an instrument is able to interpret under different situations.
3.6.1 Reliability of the Research Instrument
After the questionnaires were completed, they were analyzed using Cronbach‟s alpha
(α) to find out these questionnaires reliability.
Based on the test result, he Cronbach‟s alpha (α) value for the 20 transformational
management (leadership) items which is considered highly reliable. On the other hand, the
12 items that were used to measure transactional leadership Cronbach‟s alpha‟s (α) value
was found .847 and Cronbach‟s alpha (α) value was .943 for ( ). And lastly, Cronbach's
alpha (α) for ( ) was found .705. Based on the finding of this pilot test the questionnaires
were found to reliable as it obtained the minimum value of ±.50. In line with Jaccard and
Becker (1997), the questionnaire need to get a minimal value of ±.50 to be taken into
consideration or reliable.
3.7 Data Collection Method and Procedures
The data collection for this study began by contacting the identified branches of
Banks that were available in DIK. The first contact established with these Banks was done
through the telephone call and the purpose of it was to obtain information about the
“The Relationship between Transformational, Transactional Leadership Styles and Employees
Performance Mediating Role of Culture Dimensions of Bankers In District D.I.Khan KPK Pakistan.” 54
procedure for acquiring permission to distribute the questionnaire and to explain the purpose
of conducting this research. Additionally, the main purpose was to seek their verbal
permission to conduct this research. All of the Banks gave verbal permission to distribute
the questionnaire.
Stage two of the data collection began with the distribution of the questionnaires to
the selected branches of Banks. As it was neither possible nor efficient way to distribute the
questionnaire to each employee individually due to the different working hours and work
nature. So questionnaires were handed to their in charge or immediate supervisor or manager
in every branch to facilitate the distribution of questionnaires as well as to collect the
completed questionnaire. The person in charge was informed about the purpose of these
questionnaires and the research. In case they have any inquiry about the study they can also
contact the researcher or the supervisor. Moreover, the front cover of the questionnaire also
contained information like guidelines for respondents to answer the question, the purpose of
the study as well as the contact information of the researcher and the supervisor. These
questionnaires were distributed on 23 July 2017 for the actual test. While some questionnaire
was distributed a week later so as to acquire the consents from the remaining awaited Banks
to distribute the questionnaires in the employees.
In the next stage of the data collection, the researcher contacted the branches of banks
to seek news of the distributed questionnaires. A larger part of the questionnaires was not
able to be completed within a week. Therefore more time allowed the respondents to
complete these questionnaires. A total of 319 of the questionnaires were able to be completed
from the 64 branches of the Public and Private Bank upon 2nd September 2017. Ample time
was given to the respondents so that they don't feel pressurized to complete the
questionnaires.
“The Relationship between Transformational, Transactional Leadership Styles and Employees
Performance Mediating Role of Culture Dimensions of Bankers In District D.I.Khan KPK Pakistan.” 55
Upon completing these steps and collecting the data. The information gathered was
then dissected utilizing the Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPSS) rendition 21.0.
The information was broken down to answer the targets (objectives) and theories of this
exploration.
3.8 Data Analysis Procedure
For data analysis Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 21.0 was
used in this study. Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) is a computerized statistical
analysis tool which allows the researcher to enter the raw data collected through survey
method and analyzed their result. Responses are entered in the computer based on option
number of the question response. Pre-analysis data screening was conducted to determine
outliers, missing data, and normality. Any missing data will be coded into the computer using
the numeral 9 or 99. First of all, descriptive analysis was used so s to measure the frequency
and percentage of the respondents' demographic facts. For this research, best demographic
facts had been analyzed the usage of descriptive analysis while the percentage and frequency
were calculated for respondents' gender, age, ethnic, length of service, and academic
qualification.
Bivariate correlation and hierarchical multiple regression had been used to test the
hypotheses of this study (Mason & Lind, 1996).For bivariate analysis data must be normal in
this study data was first normal through skewness and kurtosis and then bivariate correlation
was used. According to Field (2013) correlation is represented by small r and its value ranges
from -1 to +1. If the value of the relationship between two variables is 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 and 0.4 it
is the weak correlation but if the values are 0.5 and 0.6 respectively it becomes moderate but
if the value is 0.7 to 0.9 it becomes strong. Next hierarchical multiple regression became used
to test the mediating consequences the usage of method record added by (Hayes, 2007).

Before proceeding for data analysis it is duty of the researcher that researcher must
clean the data outliers must be removed from the data. This can be done by number of ways
one is called Shapiro wilk test, other is called K-S test, third is QQ plots and PP plots, while
some people use skweness and kurtosis. There are different ranges for skweness and kurtosis.
If sample size is 100 then range of these two test must be +1.96 to -1.96, if the sample size is
200 it must be -2.58 to +2.58 if it is more than 300 then -3.29 to +3.29. these are the values
which ar used for normality of data. In this study researcher has used the skweness and
kurtosis criteria for normality of data.

Before proceeding for data analysis it is duty of the researcher that researcher
must clean the data outliers must be removed from the data. This can be done by number of
ways one is called Shapiro wilk test, other is called K-S test, third is QQ plots and PP plots,
while some people use skweness and kurtosis. There are different ranges for skweness and
kurtosis. If sample size is 100 then range of these two test must be +1.96 to -1.96, if the
sample size is 200 it must be -2.58 to +2.58 if it is more than 300 then -3.29 to +3.29. These
are the values which ar used for normality of data. In this study researcher has used the
skweness and kurtosis criteria for normality of data.
In the above Table all the results in the specified range so data is normal.

4.11 Exploratory Factor Analysis Transformational Transactional
Leadership Styles
In order to find whether there is any latent variable hidden in the instrument or data
also in order to find to what extent this data is valid in perspective of Pakistan for this
purpose, exploratory factor analysis is conducted. As the nature of this study is exploratory so
EFA is conducted rather CFA. There are many items were found problematic in the
instrument of leadership, culture, and performance but all items are used in factor analysis.
There are few rules of thumb which should be considered before conducting exploratory
factor analysis.
The aim of this factor analysis is to find whether any latent variable is hidden in the
data set or instrument or not second-factor analysis is used to reduce the number of items in
the questionnaires.(Hair et al., 2007; Brymanand Cramer, 2001).
The first rule of thumb is to check the value of KMO Kaiser Meyer Olkin measure of
sampling adequacy, its value it should be more than 0.5. if it is less than 0.5 then it means
that data is not enough for factor analysis. The second rule of thumb is to find the value of
BTS its value should be significant if the value is not significant it means that data is not
reliable for factor analysis. The third rule of thumb is to use principal component analysis,
fourth rule of thumb is to use orthogonal or oblique rotation. Last step or decision to be made
by the researcher is to use cut off level for factor loading it should be 0.4 if it is less than 0.4
then delete that item or variable. (Field, 2013).

From the above table outcome using the varimax method retained two factors for employee‟s
performance. There are nine items used in performance questionnaire for employees
performance there are nine-item used, one item is found problematic and cross-loaded on
another factor having factor loading greater then 0.4, so 8 items are validated for employees
performance in Pakistan Perspective so the results of this study replicated the previous Gul,
and Oktay (2008).

Correlation between motivation and performance is significant i.e. (r = 0.179,
p=0.001), it means that when motivation is given y leaders in organizations it in result
increase the performance of employees. On the other hand when there is no motivation
provided by leaders in results performance of employees is reduced. Further examination of
results revealed that Pearson correlation moment between motivation and organization
culture is not significant it is recorded (r = 0.062, p = 0.272). While Pearson connection
moment among culture and performance is discovered frail (weak) however positive and
significant. i.e. (r = 0.382, p = 0.000). It means that culture has a relationship with
performance when there is a working culture introduced in the organization then it increases
the performance of the employee. These outcomes (results) are in accordance with the past
“The Relationship between Transformational, Transactional Leadership Styles and Employees
Performance Mediating Role of Culture Dimensions of Bankers In District D.I.Khan KPK Pakistan.” 79
results of Sokro (2012) led study on motivation, performance, and culture, reported that there
is the significant relationship between motivation and performance but there is the
insignificant relationship between motivation and culture so this hypothesis is accepted. In
addition Owes (2004) reported positive results with the variables studied.
H2: There is a Positive Relationship among Idealized behavior, Performance, and Culture.

The Pearson correlation moment between idealized influence behavior and employees
performance is discovered (found) positive and significant i.e. (r = 0.163, p=0.003), it
means that when idealized influence behavior is given by leaders in organizations it in result
increase the performance of employees. On the other hand, when there is no idealized
influence behavior provided by leaders in results performance of employees is reduced.
Further examination of results revealed that Pearson correlation moment between idealized
influence behavior and organizational culture is significant it is recorded (r = 0.130, p =
0.020). While Pearson connection moment among culture and performance is discovered frail
(weak) however positive and significant. i.e. (r = 0.382, p = 0.000). it means that culture has
a relationship with performance when there is working culture introduced in the organization
then it increases the performance of employees.
Flamming (2017) supported these results, organizational culture and performance,
reported that there is the significant relationship between Idealized behavior, culture, and
performance so this hypothesis is accepted.
“The Relationship between Transformational, Transactional Leadership Styles and Employees
Performance Mediating Role of Culture Dimensions of Bankers In District D.I.Khan KPK Pakistan.” 80
In addition (Cameron & Quinn, 2006; Hooijberg & Petrock, 1993) also conducted a study on
culture and performance and found that organizational culture impacts the ability of leaders
to improve organizational performance.
H3: There is a Positive Relationship among Idealized Attribute, Performance, and Culture.

Relation between attribute and performance is i.e. (r = 0.181, p=0.001), it means that
when idealized influence attribute is given by leaders in organizations it in result increase the
performance of employees. On the other hand, when there is no idealized influence attribute
provided by leaders in results performance of employees is reduced. Further examination of
results revealed that Pearson correlation moment between idealized influence attribute and
organization culture is significant it is recorded (r = 0.215, p = 0.000). While Pearson
connection moment among culture and performance is discovered frail (weak) however
positive and significant. i.e. (r = 0.382, p = 0.000). It means that culture has a relationship
with performance when there is working culture introduced in the organization then it
increases the performance of employees.
Flaming (2017) conducted study on transformational leadership trait (Idealized Attribute),
organizational culture and performance, reported that there is the significant relationship
between Idealized behavior, culture, and performance so this hypothesis is accepted.
In addition (Cameron & Quinn, 2006; Hooijberg & Petrock, 1993) also conducted a study on
culture and performance and found that organizational culture impacts the ability of leaders
“The Relationship between Transformational, Transactional Leadership Styles and Employees
Performance Mediating Role of Culture Dimensions of Bankers In District D.I.Khan KPK Pakistan.” 81
to improve organizational performance. This investigation authenticated the way that
authoritative culture impacts the capacity of leaders to improve organization performance as
evident by the symbiotic relationship of each construct.
H4: There is a Positive Relationship among Individual Consideration, Performance, and
Culture.
Table 4.22

Variable 1 Variable 2 r p
Inconsideration Performance -0.008 0.892
Inconsideration Culture 0.092 0.103
Culture Performance 0.382**
0.000
Relationship between Consideration and performance is i.e. (r = -0.008, p=0.892), it
means that when individual consideration is given by leaders in organizations it in result
decrease the performance of employees. On the other hand, when there is no individual
consideration provided by leaders in results performance of employees is increased. Further
examination of results revealed that Pearson correlation moment between individual
consideration and organizational culture is insignificant it is recorded (r = 0.092, p = 0.103).
While Pearson connection moment among culture and performance is discovered frail (weak)
however positive and significant. i.e. (r = 0.382, p = 0.000). it means that culture has a
relationship with performance when there is working culture introduced in the organization
then it increases the performance of employees.
These results are in line with the previous results of Ndwiga and Ngaithe (2016)
conducted study on individual consideration, organizational performance, reported that there

Relationship between stimulation and performance is i.e. (r = 0.052, p=0.352), it
means that when intellectual stimulation is given by leaders in organizations it in result
increase the performance of employees. On the other hand, when there is no intellectual
stimulation provided by leaders in results performance of employees is reduced. Further
examination of results revealed that Pearson correlation moment between intellectual
stimulation and organization culture is significant it is recorded (r = 0.114, p = 0.043). While
Pearson connection moment among culture and performance is discovered frail (weak)
however positive and significant. i.e. (r = 0.382, p = 0.000). it means that culture has a

Referring above Table for bankers concerning performance and management by
exception passive shows R2
= .0146, while coefficient for this model is found significant i.e.
coefficient = 0.0978, p= 0.0307, this model represents path (a). in second model culture is
entered in regression equation and shows R2 = 0.1464, coefficient = 0.3416, p=0.000 and
coefficient = -0.0082, p=0.8272, represents path (c‟), while in path (c) R2
= 0.0012,
coefficient = 0.0252, p= 0.5334 is found insignificant. Overall all the models were found fit
the goodness of fit index is measure by F value, for model 1 F= 4.70, p= 0.0307, for model 2
F = 27.09, p= 0.000, while for model 3 .3888, p=0.5334. Normal theory test i.e. sobel test
value is found significant sobel = 2.0632, p= 0.0391 it means that organization culture does
act as full mediator in the relationship between management by exception passive and
performance. So this hypothesis is accepted.
Theses mediation results are supported by Imran Zahoor and Zaheer, (2014) conducted a

First of all the very first assumption of t-test is to check the Levene's test on the off
chance that the estimation of Levene's test is insignificant, the researcher (specialist) can
continue to significant two-tailed value in the event that the presumption is violated, there is
no compelling reason to continue to significant two-tailed value. In above Table, the value for
inspirational motivation, idealized influence behavior, intellectual stimulation contingent
reward, management by exception active and passive are found insignificant so the researcher
can proceed to significant two-tailed but for idealized influence attribute and individual
consideration is the significant assumption is violated so null hypotheses is accepted.
For inspirational motivation levene‟s F = 0.322, p =0.571 significant 2 tailed = 0.302,
so null hypotheses for this inspirational motivation is accepted. Further examination of results
shows that idealized influence behavior Levene‟s Test F= 0.398, p=0.529, sig 2 tailed= 0.756.
so null hypotheses for idealized influence behavior is accepted. In same way for idealized
influence attribute F= 5.764,p=0.017 is found significant so 2 tailed = .415 so null hypotheses
is accepted for this idealized influence attribute. In addition, I.C F = 6.740,p=0.010, p =
0.315, for I.S F = 0.555, p= .457, p = .619, for C.R F = 1.307, p = 0.254, p = 0.819, for
management by exception active F = .557, p = .456, 2 tailed = 0.810, for management by
exception passive F = .369, p = 0.544, p = 0.278. hypotheses is rejected because of no
difference in mean.

consideration is the significant assumption is violated so null hypotheses is accepted.
For motivation F = 1.963, p = .162, p = 0.004, in public and private sector banks
difference is reported in motivation of public sector and private sector employees. In
addition, for idealized influence behavior F = 15.575, p =0.000, p = 0.927, for idealized
influence attribute F = 8.616, p =0.004 p = .128, for IC F = 7.741, p = 0.006 p = 0.306, for IS
F = 10.784, p =0.001, p 0.737, for CR F = 9.415, p = 0.002, p 0.215, for MEA F = 5.498, p =
0.020 p= 0.456, for MEP F = 17.650 p = 0.000, p= .137.
It is concluded that the only sector has a difference for motivation in the public and
private sector while for other variables it does not have any difference.

i.e. management by exception passive. Post hoc test and Tukey value are applied it gives a
significant difference between two groups i.e. master and M.Phill. It means that respondents
having the master and M.Phil degree have the difference in their management by exception

Chapter 5
Discussion Conclusion and Recommendation
5.1 Introduction
In this chapter, the link is created with the previous chapter i.e. empirical results. This
chapter has details of all the research its summary and its conclusions and its discussion along
with the implications and recommendation for future research and researchers. So this section
is very important because in this crux of the research is given.
5.2 Research summary
This is a cross-sectional investigation in which one time information was gathered and
utilized for examination. This study has used a deductive approach and positivist philosophy.
Primary data was collected from the banks of Pakistan.
In first chapter different things are mentioned and discussed in detail like a
background, nature of problem theoretical and methodological gap objectives hypothesis
significance of the study and definition of transformational and transactional leadership styles
culture and performance along with theoretical framework
The second chapter consists of the definition of leadership theories of leadership facet
of leadership i.e. Idealize influence attribute idealize influence behavior, Inspirational
motivation, individual consideration, intellectual stimulation, contingent reward, management
by exception passive management by exception active, also theories of culture facets
definitions also discussed along with performance definitions.
The third chapter is about research methods in which research philosophy design
research onion population sampling techniques measurements data collection methods and
research ethics are discussed.
“The Relationship between Transformational, Transactional Leadership Styles and Employees
Performance Mediating Role of Culture Dimensions of Bankers In District D.I.Khan KPK Pakistan.” 112
In data analysis chapter solution of the problem using different data analysis
techniques are mentioned and used. In this survey 450 questionnaires were distributed in
banks out of which 319 completed questionnaires were collected back which were used in
this study the questionnaire consisted of 4 sections section a consists of transformational and
transactional leadership styles adopted from ( Bass & Avolio, 2002: Busari 2011) the second
section consists of culture adopted from (Hofstede, 2011) the third section consists of
employees performance adopted from (Gul, & Oktay, 2008) the fourth section consists of
demographic department qualification gender length of service and sector.
5.3 Discussion and conclusion
The first hypothesis was to identify the relationship between transformational
leadership styles and its facets and employees performance the second hypothesis was to
distinguish the connection between transactional leadership style its elements and
performance the third hypothesis was to decide the intervening impact of organizational
culture on the connection between transformational leadership its aspect and Performance.
The fourth hypothesis (speculation) was to examine the interceding impact of culture on the
connection between transactional leadership its elements and employees performance. The
last hypothesis was to find the mean difference between demographic variables and
transformational transactional, performance and culture.
First of all normality of the data was checked through skewness and kurtosis
according to Julia Pallant (2010), the acceptable range of skewness and kurtosis is -3 to +3.
According to Andy field, (2013) range of skewness and kurtosis is -1.96 to + 1.96 for sample
size 100. For sample size 200 it should be -2.58 to + 2.58. for sample size 300 and above it
should be in the range of -3.29 to + 3.29. in this study, all the data is found normal because of
all the values of skewness and kurtosis in the range.

Performance Mediating Role of Culture Dimensions of Bankers In District D.I.Khan KPK Pakistan.” 113
Next reliability analysis was run to check the internal consistency. According to field
2013, the value of reliability i.e Cronbach alpha should be between 0 and 1 the value of .7 is
acceptable, .8 is considered good and .9 is excellent but value less .7 is questionable, .5 is
poor and .4 is not acceptable. In this study, all the questionnaires are found reliable.
In next step to check the validity of the questionnaire, validity can be checked through
exploratory factor analysis in EFA first KMO value and BTS value is checked for sampling
adequacy the value of KMO should be between 0 and 1. According to Blaike (2003), the
value of KMO is greater than .5 is acceptable. It is found that the value of KMO for
transformational leadership, transactional leadership performance and culture is discovered
(found) greater than .5. Then initial eigen values and factor loadings are also checked. It is
found that for transformational and transactional leadership 8 factors are found hence
replicated and validated the previous study of (Boss &Avolio 2002: Busari 2011) in the same
way factor analysis of performance and culture also replicated and validated the previous
study of (Hofsted 2011: Gul, H.,& Oktay, E. 2008).
In order to test the hypothesis, inferential statistics are used in which correlation is used to
check the hypothesis. Bivariate correlation is used when data is normal. The relationship
between motivation and performance is significance, while the relationship between
motivation and culture is insignificance and the relationship between culture and performance
is significant. The relationship between behavior and performance is significance while the
relationship between behavior and culture is also significant.
The relationship between attributes and performance is significant and the relationship
between attributes and culture is significant. The relationship between consideration and
performance is insignificance while the relationship between consideration and culture is
significant. The relationship between simulation and performance is insignificance while the
relationship between simulation and culture is significant. The relationship between reward
“The Relationship between Transformational, Transactional Leadership Styles and Employees
Performance Mediating Role of Culture Dimensions of Bankers In District D.I.Khan KPK Pakistan.” 114
and performance is significance while the relationship between reward and culture is also
significant.
There is significant relationship between management by exception active and
performance. while the relationship between management by exception and culture is also
significant. There is insignificant relationship between management by exception passive and
performance while the relationship between management by exception passive and culture is
also significant.
The next objective was to find the most dominant factor among all the variables it is
found that among all variables i.e inspirational motivation, behavior, attributes, stimulation,
consideration reward active-passive, performance and culture. The beta value of culture is
found highest i.e 38.2 % higher than all variables. So the culture is the most dominant factor
in the model.
Hierarchical multiple regression introduced by Andrew F Hayes is used for mediation.
It is found that culture does not act as a mediator between inspirational motivation and
performance. Further examination of results found that culture act as a partial mediator
between idealizes influence behavior and performance. in the same way, culture does act as a
partial mediator between idealizing influence attribute and performance. but culture does not
act as a mediator between individual consideration and performance but act as a full mediator
between intellectual stimulation and contingent reward and performance but culture act as a
partial mediator between management by exception active and full mediator between
management by exception passive and performance.
T-test and ANOVA were performed to find the mean difference it is found that there is
no difference found on gender and research variables, in the same way, there is no difference
found between the sector and research variables except inspirational motivation shows the
difference on basis of the public and private sector. Further examination of result found that
“The Relationship between Transformational, Transactional Leadership Styles and Employees
Performance Mediating Role of Culture Dimensions of Bankers In District D.I.Khan KPK Pakistan.” 115
designation brings no difference in leadership styles culture and performance. in addition,
qualification does not bring any difference in motivation behavior attribute stimulation
consideration rewards and management by exception active but Master and M.Phil.
Qualification brings change in the management by exception passive also age and length of
service do not bring any difference.
On the basis of above discussion, it is concluded that transformational leadership style
and its facets like idealized behavior and attitude, stimulation, motivation, and consideration
are positively related with performance and culture it means that when organizations would
improve their culture and leadership styles it would also increase the performance of the
employees and vice versa. Similarly, transactional leadership styles and its attributes rewards,
management by exception active and passive are positively related few of them are
insignificant but weak and positive, related to performance and culture. These results are in
line with the results of Advan and Abbas (2015) conducted a study on the transformational
and transactional leadership styles and performance and found a positive relationship.
Further, these results are also in line with the previous studies if Awamleh (2004) also
reported a positive relationship among transformational and transactional leadership styles
and performance. In addition, Alsheikh et al (2017) also reported that culture and
performance has a positive relationship between each other. Also, Imran Zahoor and Zaheer
(2012) reported that organizational culture mediated the relationship between leadership
styles i.e. transformational and transactional leadership styles and performance. On the basis
of above discussion, the first two objectives are approved while objectives three and four are
partially accepted. Because organizational culture does not act as a mediator between a few
variables and the last objective is partially accepted.
Our hypotheses are in line with those studies which have a direct relationship between
the construct so these studies are in line with our study, our mediation Hypotheses are in line
“The Relationship between Transformational, Transactional Leadership Styles and Employees
Performance Mediating Role of Culture Dimensions of Bankers In District D.I.Khan KPK Pakistan.” 116
with those studies which have been conducted outside Pakistan and data was collected from
another sector.
The theory of leadership culture and performance need to be bridged and tested in
southern Kp and its Banks operating in that area, so this study has contributed to body of
Knowledge for banker, banks, state bank, IBP, and for manager of Banks to understand the
culture and its importance is highlighted in the form of most dominant factor in this study.
5.4 Contribution of Study
This research study has some novel contribution and has added in the literature and
results of leadership and culture.
5.4.1 Extended Knowledge in the Literature
Organization culture is very important in management settings. In this study culture is
added as mediator as suggested in the previous studies. The results of leadership with
performance and culture were very crucial to add in the literature of this area. So this study
has added culture as mediator in the theory of leadership styles.
5.4.2 Contribution in Leadership Theory
As this research project has used bass and Avolio model of leadership and added
culture as mediator so this study has contributed in the theory of leadership by adding
performance and culture as variables and try to report significant results with each other. This
study has led support from the studies of Bass and Avolio (1985) Bass and Avolio (2002) and
Busari (2011).
5.4.3 Methodological Validation
This study has validated the instrument of leadership styles taken from Bass and
Avolio (2002) and Busari (2011). All items are validated in Pakistan perspective and
instrument of performance and culture are also validated in Pakistan perspective adopted
from (Hofstede, 2011; and Gul& 2008). All the instruments reliability is checked and found
“The Relationship between Transformational, Transactional Leadership Styles and Employees
Performance Mediating Role of Culture Dimensions of Bankers In District D.I.Khan KPK Pakistan.” 117
reliable the acceptable level of reliability is 0.7. Exploratory factor analysis was performed on
all instrument and found that this study has replicated the previous studies. This theory has
used process files for mediation; different results are reported in this study as previous studies
in banks used hierarchical regression identified by the Barron and Kenny (1986). The study
has used Also ANOVA and T-test for reporting results of leadership, performance, and
culture of banks with different demographics of bankers.
5.5 Contribution for Organizations
In this study various leadership styles are used and their results are reported these
results are helpful for the banking industry in Pakistan. Different banks can use these findings
and seek help in policy making for bankers in all over Pakistan. Because banks everywhere in
Pakistan have the same procedures and criteria for operations.
5.5.1 Implications for Institute of Bankers and State Bank of Pakistan
Almost every bank is working under the rules of state bank of Pakistan and Institute
of bankers in Pakistan. So these two institutes can take benefit from the findings of this study.
5.5.2 Contribution for Professionals
Those bodies are professional who have consultancies and training workshops can
raise awareness of the culture and leadership styles in the seminars and conferences and take
benefit from this work.
5.6 Limitations of the Study
Some restrictions or limitations are addressed here:
This study is conducted only in the city of Dera Ismail Khan, also this study has used
a very small sample size of 319. In addition, this study has used only one method of data
collection. The survey questionnaire was used for statistics collection. Also, this study has
used cross-sectional way of data collection.

Performance Mediating Role of Culture Dimensions of Bankers In District D.I.Khan KPK Pakistan.” 118
5.7 Directions for Future
From this study, the researcher has some suggestions for upcoming research and for
new researchers who wish to work in the same area.
First of all, in the future study can use culture as a moderator also future studies can
use other leadership styles like digital leadership, ethical leadership can be used. in addition,
other mediator and moderator can be used in a future study for example decision making
talent management, knowledge management, and followership. Future study can also focus
on followership study along with leadership studies. This study has used cross-sectional way
of data collection, future study can use longitudinal data collection, qualitative data collection
or future study can use mix method also future study can use big sample size and use AMOS-
SEM and PLS-SEM for empirical analysis. State bank of Pakistan can use the findings and
enhance the culture of banks in Dera Ismail Khan as it is an unattractive area of Pakistan.
There is one more future direction that very limited studies conducted on leadership using the
qualitative approach with induction method and grounded theory. It would bring in-depth
information.
5.7.1 Directions for HR Professionals
Professionals can focus on the full range leadership model as well as other
management (leadership) models. Professionals can use their ways to inject the importance of
the culture and other leadership theories and models to change and enhance the performance
of employees.
