Abstract

Public sector organisations in Nigeria have experienced a series of financial and structural challenges leading to some of them winding up or undergoing privatization, and these failures have been aributed to poor leadership. This study sought to evaluate the influence of four transformational leadership behaviours (particularly idealised influence, inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation, and individualized consideration) on job performance in Nigerian public sector organisations. The study adopted survey research design with a sample of 385 respondents from a population of employees of public sector organisations in Nigeria. Factor Analysis using structural equation modelling (SEM) was employed in analyzing the primary data collected for the study from structured questionnaire in google forms electronic survey tool. The study found that idealised influence has a positive and significant effect on performance, individualized consideration has a positive and significant effect on performance, inspirational motivation has a positive but insignificant effect on performance, and intellectual stimulation has a positive and significant effect on performance of public sector organizations in Nigeria. The study therefore recommends that practices of idealised influence, individualized consideration, and intellectual stimulation should be continued in order for good performance to be enjoyed in the Nigerian public sector. However, the practices of inspirational motivation have to be improved on, in order to have good performance in the sector.
