Abstract

The purpose of this study is trying to see the effect of the transformational leadership to the job satisfaction, which already explain in the literature review that when the problem are simple and clear it was best to use transactional leadership, but when the company getting bigger then it supposed to use the transformational leadership, however in central java perspectives, these company is not that small yet is not that big as well. Then we do assume that the leader should be transformational and yet transactional. To test the hypothesized model, this study uses a survey questionnaire research design and a quantitative approach, Data collection by researchers is done by sending questionnaires to employees of the middle manager (supervisor; manager) level at 6 textile companies in Central Java Province via email.
