What is it about?
This study examined the augmentation and moderating effects of transformational leadership on transactional leadership in relation to employee commitment. In order to recommend the effective leadership style that stimulate employee commitment, we tested whether transactional leadership can be a fundamental leadership to drive commitment. However, we found that transactional can rather augments transformational in stimulating employee commitment.

Why is it important?
Managers and leaders would appreciate the fact that, in a developing country context, they should first and foremost exhibit transformational leadership and add on transactional leadership if they desire to stimulate employee commitment.
Perspectives
This study is unique in that existing literature in both developed and developingcountries focused on the augmentation and moderating effects of transactional leadership on the relationship between transformational leadership and organizational outcomes. Therefore, our findings complement existing literature by providing empirical evidence that, given transformational and transactional leadership, the latter can't be exhibited as fundamental leadership style on which other leadership styles such as transformational leadership can be added.
