Abstract
Transformational leadership has a great impact on employees’ psychological attachment to their organizations. This study examines how and under what condition transformational leadership translates into employees’ affective organizational commitment. Using a moderated mediation model, this research finds that the relationship between transformational leadership and affective commitment is transmitted through perceived work impact. More importantly, our findings suggest that the indirect effect of transformational leadership on affective commitment through perceived work impact is moderated by the level of centralization of an organization. Theoretical and practical implications of the findings are discussed.
