Introduction

Transformational leadership is no longer a new topic in leadership and change management but despite the attention paid to the practice, organisations still fail to understand and explain how leaders can encourage, inspire and motivate employees to innovate and create change that will help grow and shape the future success of the organisations. The theoretical, methodological as well as practical gaps churned out from extant literature are more applicable to the developed and transitional economies. Unfortunately, studies focusing on the contextual and organizational variables in developing economies, such as Nigeria, are still scarce. Hence, this paper adds to knowledge in the area of leadership research as it investigates leadership transformational attributes on employee satisfaction and engagement across hierarchical levels in Nigeria. This research broadens the scope of previous research and provides a more detailed examination of transformational leadership attributes by exploring the five traits –- Idealized influence (II), Inspirational motivation (IM), Intellectual stimulation (IS), Individualized consideration (IC) and Attributed charisma (AC) as presented in Table 1.
