Enhancing employees’ grit through the practice of transformational leadership and participation in decision-making

Abstract

The study aimed to examine the influence of transformational leadership and employees' participation in decision-making on the employees' grit. To deepen the theories of the study, the literature was reviewed. The study applied descriptive assessment and a correlational research design. The study population consisted of all employees of the institution where the study was conducted. The questionnaires were used to gather the data, and descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the data. The study found that transformational leadership, employees' participation in decision-making, and employees' grit were high. The Pearson r correlation indicated that both transformational leadership and involvement in decision-making are significantly correlated with the employees' grit. Therefore, the hypothesis of the study is accepted. However, the study recognized its limitations because of its limited population and coverage. It is recommended to conduct more studies concerning strategies that enhance employees' grit.
