Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of transformational leadership style on organizational readiness for change through a systematic review of current literature. The method used is literature review by analyzing ten scientific journal articles published in the period 2020-2025 discussing transformational leadership and organizational change. Literature analysis shows that transformational leadership has a positive and significant influence on organizational readiness for change. Through its four main dimensions, namely idealized influence, inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation and individualized consideration, transformational leadership creates organizational conditions conducive to change. Consistent findings from various studies indicate that transformational leadership positively correlates with commitment to change, openness to change, and readiness to change, and negatively correlates with resistance and cynicism about change. The mechanism of influence of transformational leadership on organizational readiness is mediated by trust in leadership, knowledge sharing, commitment to change, and organizational culture. In conclusion, transformational leadership becomes a strategic imperative to build resilient and adaptive organizations in facing the dynamics of contemporary business environment changes. Organizations need to develop transformational leadership capabilities through systematic leadership development programs as a critical investment to ensure organizational sustainability and competitiveness.
