ABSTRACT:
This study proposed a theoretical framework
to explore the possible relationship among transformational leadership
behavior, psychological optimism, and subordinate performance. Data were surveyed
from 169 supervisor-subordinate dyads in Taiwan’s tourism hotel industry; we
found that transformational leadership behaviors might help individuals nurture
higher level of psychological optimism, thus enhancing the subordinate
performance. Implication and suggestions were discussed.
