ABSTRACT
Research in the field of Organisational Behaviour (OB) is always
looking for ways to improve effectiveness and performance. A
particularly interesting and popular concept leading to higher levels
of performance is workers’ organisational commitment (OC).
Managers are eager to stimulate OC, yet the question of how remains.
It is in this perspective that the present research assumes importance
and hence the study has been initiated. In the Indian context, the
studies on transformational leadership are few and far between.
Whatever little research has taken place mostly encompasses
manufacturing or IT sector. This study seeks to find answers to three
major issues.
The first issue is to explore whether the Indian bankers at different
hierarchical levels have aligned their leadership style to the changing
demands of the contemporary environment or not i.e. to examine the
degree of their transformational leadership behaviour. The
relationship between transformational leadership, need satisfaction
and organisational commitment has not been explored in the context
of Indian commercial banking sector earlier. Second issue, therefore,

the managers on the satisfaction of three higher order needs (Esteem
Needs, Actualization Needs, Knowledge Needs), and on three
dimensions of employees' organisational commitment (Affective
Commitment, Continuance Commitment,
and Normative
Commitment). It is a well known fact that differences of varied
