Abstract
This research examines the transformational leadership dimensions of intellectual
stimulation, individualised consideration and inspirational motivation impact on
organisational performance in the South African mining industry through the lense of
The Balanced Scorecard (BSC), the study investigates the relationship between
each dimension and each of the four perspectives and wider organisational
outcomes. The results show that although inspirational motivation has a significant
positive impact on financial performance, individualised consideration has the
greatest impact on employee productivity and performance. Intellectual stimulation,
however, shows a positive impact on employee performance as it fosters innovative
and problem-solving behavior. These findings are in line with the existing literature
which shows transformational leadership effectiveness is nuanced, where individual
dimensions only affect certain performance areas instead of universal
improvements. To this end, the study concludes that an improvement of broader
overall performance in the mining sector requires synergies in employee-centric
leadership and strategic management strategies to effectively address regulatory
and macro economic challenges. This paper advances insights into how adaptive
leadership can contribute to solving sector specific challenges while creating an
environment of sustainability and high performance.
