The thesis combines transformational leadership theory with implicit motive theory. It demonstrates conceptual connections of distinct transformational leadership styles and the needs for affiliation, power, and achievement. Furthermore, it shows that a fit between transformational leadership styles and followers’ implicit motive dispositions increases work-related outcomes. Thus, the thesis provides insight into the mechanisms of effective leadership and has practical implications for the relationship between a leader and followers.
