Abstract
This study aims to analyze the role of transformational leadership in human resource (HR) management and the development of organizational culture. The study employs a qualitative descriptive literature review. Data were drawn from books, national and international journal articles, and relevant scholarly publications. The findings indicate that transformational leadership can strengthen HR practices, including recruitment, competency development, performance management, compensation, and employee retention. Through idealized influence, inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation, and individualized consideration, transformational leaders can help shape an adaptive, innovative, inclusive, and performance-oriented organizational culture. A strong organizational culture, in turn, can reinforce HR practices and support employee engagement and retention. Key challenges include resistance to change, generational diversity, hybrid work, and environmental uncertainty. The study is limited by its reliance on secondary sources and the interpretive nature of content analysis. It contributes an integrated conceptual view linking transformational leadership, HR management, and organizational culture for organizational leaders, HR professionals, and researchers. Its novelty lies in combining these three domains with contemporary issues of digitalization, HR analytics, and sustainable talent development.
