What is it about?
The study evaluates the effect of transformational leadership (TL) on employee related outcomes i.e. transformational leaders are able to establish positive leader member exchange (LMX), which in turn lead to relational identification (RI) and satisfaction with leader (SWL).Further, the association period also helps to strengthen the transformational leadership and leader member exchange relationship. So, the present paper attempts to evaluate the moderated- mediated effect of transformational leadership on relational identification and satisfaction with leader.

Why is it important?
the paper evaluates the indirect impact of transformational leadership on relational identification and satisfaction with leader through positive LMX. It is based on social exchange theory, wherein leader helps to develop good relations with subordinates, which in turn increase the level of subordinate's level of satisfaction with leader and he/she likes to be identified with his leader. Understanding of this equation can help the organisations to train their leaders on transformational leadership guidelines to yield positive employee related results, which ultimately help to gain organisational performance.
Perspectives
This paper is based upon social exchange theory and helps to to understand the role of LMX as a mediating variable between transformational leadership and relational identification as well as satisfaction with leader. It enhances our understanding about outcome social exchanges at work place
