In recent years, global epidemics have underscored the pivotal role of the biotechnology industry. With aprimary focus on research and development, leaders within this industry must transition from adirective leadership style to that of talent cultivators. This study aims to explore the nuances of this evolving transformational leadership within the biotechnology sector. Moreover, employee job satisfaction emerges as acritical concern for organizations, prompting aconcerted effort to enhance it. While previous research has delved into the relationship between transformational leadership and job satisfaction, few studies have considered supervisor identification as apotential mediator. This study seeks to illuminate the mediating role of supervisor identification, drawing insights from leader-member exchange and social identity theory. The study expects to deduce and empirically test the outcomes by applying these theories. The research findings reveal that (1) transformational leadership positively influences supervisor identification, (2) supervisor identification positively impacts job satisfaction, and (3) transformational leadership exerts an indirect effect on employees' job satisfaction through supervisor identification. In conclusion, this study provides pertinent recommendations for managerial practices and suggests avenues for future research. |
