IntroductionOne of the factors that must be considered by management to empower employees is the type of leadership style. Leadership is necessary and essential for effective social and organizational performance. Transformational leadership style is one of the most popular and studied leadership styles. Transformational leaders change the thoughts and attitudes of their followers and motivate them for higher levels of effort and performance. These leaders have the ability to orientate around a shared vision and encourage followers to work harder to implement and complete it. Therefore, the research was conducted with the aim of investigating the relationship of transformational leadership with job well-being, subjective occupational success, and adaptive performance in employees of Aghajari Oil and Gas Exploitation Company. MethodThe sample of the current research was 174 people (124 men, 50 women) from the employees of Aghajari Oil and Gas Exploitation Company. The instruments used in this research included General Transformational Leadership, Job Well-Being, Subjective OccupationalSuccess, and Adaptive Performance questionnaires. In order to evaluate the proposed model, structural equation modeling method was used with AMOS version 21 software. ResultsThe results showed that the final model has an acceptable fit with the data. Also, the results showed that the direct paths of transformational leadership to job well-being (β=0.21, p<0.001), transformational leadership to subjective occupational success (β=0.67, p<0.001), and transformational leadership to adaptive performance (β=0.55, p<0.001) are significant. DiscussionAccording to the results of this research, it is suggested that transformational leadership style training for managers should be considered in the educational programs of organizations.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of transformational leadership on organizational creativity with mediating role of organizational trust and moderating role of organization-based self-esteem. The Participants included 204 employees who were selected by stratified random sampling method. They completed Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire, Organizational Trust Scale, Organizational Creativity Scale and Organization-Based Self-Esteem Questionnaire. Fitness of the proposed model, indirect effect, and moderating effect were examined by structural equation modeling (SEM), bootstrap procedure, and moderated hierarchical regression, respectively. Findings indicated that the final model fit the data significantly. The results also indicated that transformational leadership had direct effect on organizational creativity and indirectly through organizational trust. Furthermore, moderated regression analysis showed that organization-based self-esteem moderated the relationship between transformational leadership and organizational creativity.
