Abstract: This study investigates the impact of transformational leadership on the quality of work life among lecturers at Malaysian Professionals’ College. Transformational leadership, characterized by idealized influence, inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation, and individualized consideration, plays a crucial role in shaping lecturers’ work environments and well-being. The study employs a quantitative research approach, utilizing survey questionnaires distributed among lecturers. Data analysis includes descriptive statistics, correlation, and multiple regression techniques to assess the relationship between leadership style and quality work of life. The results indicate a significant positive correlation between transformational leadership and quality work of life. Leaders who exhibit transformational qualities foster job satisfaction, motivation, and organizational commitment among lecturers. This research underscores the importance of implementing transformational leadership practices to enhance the work environment in educational institutions, thereby improving lecturers’ overall well-being and institutional effectiveness. The findings contribute to the body of knowledge on leadership in higher education and provide practical insights for policymakers and educational administrators in Malaysia.
