Abstract

This study aimed to systematically review the literature on how transformational leadership could improve school performance and to identify the factors that played a role in the effectiveness of such leadership in the educational environment. Using a systematic literature review (SLR) of empirical articles from leading journals in the past five years, the study filtered and encoded key findings to understand the influence of transformational leadership. The findings showed that transformational leadership significantly improved school performance through teacher motivation, developing a collaborative culture, and increased staff commitment. Trust, collegial support, and the school climate often mediated these effects. The main limitation of this study was that the scope of the data was limited by periods and geographical regions, which may have affected the generalization of the findings. Further research was recommended to explore the long-term impact and to integrate cross-cultural perspectives.
