Abstract: Transactional and transformational leadership styles have been adopted by most organizations, but there exists a controversy as to which of the two leadership styles is the most appropriate and acceptable for organizational effectiveness and competitiveness. A survey of pertinent research on transactional and transformational leadership styles is included in this study. According to the findings, transformational leadership is more important than transactional leadership in specific situations. Transactional leadership has been demonstrated to have a considerable positive impact on organizational performance in different circumstances. As a result, both leadership styles were shown to be useful to businesses and could be used separately or in combination, depending on the context of the organization and the task at hand.
