Abstract
Purpose: The definition of leadership continues to evolve and change daily. Transformational leadership is an approach that triggers change in individuals and social systems, inspiring people to perform productively. Teaching is a multidimensional career, and several factors influence teacher effectiveness. The current research focuses on the impact of transformational leadership on teacher effectiveness in the secondary and higher secondary education systems. Research design, data, and methodology: The quantitative study used a survey method and elicited 509 responses from secondary and higher secondary teachers in Bengaluru, India. Results: The study found a significant relationship between transformational leadership, knowledge sharing, and organizational citizenship behavior. The study identified that if the leader encourages knowledge sharing in the education system, OCB will be accelerated. Conclusions: The study's empirical findings assist in analyzing transformational leadership and its bearing on the education system in the Indian context, particularly concerning the variables of knowledge sharing and organizational citizenship behavior. This study also emphasizes the interconnected nature of these constructs and the importance of considering them holistically in organizational interventions.
