Unlocking Employee Performance in the Vietnamese Banking Sector: The Interplay of Transformational Leadership, Organizational Culture, and Organizational Commitment

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

This study investigates the impact of transformational leadership and organizational culture on employee performance in the Vietnamese banking sector, with organizational commitment as a mediator.Using survey data from 675 employees across commercial banks in Vietnam and structural equation modeling (SEM), the results reveal that transformational leadership and organizational culture have significant direct and indirect effects on employee performance.The findings highlight the crucial role of transformational leadership in shaping organizational culture, fostering employee commitment, and ultimately driving employee performance.The study contributes to the limited research on these relationships in the banking context of developing countries and offers practical implications for bank managers to enhance employee performance through leadership and culture-building strategies.However, the cross-sectional design and singlesource data limit causal inferences, and future research should adopt longitudinal and multisource approaches to establish causality and mitigate common method bias.
