  • Abstract

    This study aims to test the influence of transformational leadership and organizational climate on organizational performance mediated by ‎organizational commitment.  The population in the study were 237 officials of the Regional Apparatus Organization of Banyuwangi Regen-‎cy, thus representing organizational performance. Based on the results of the Slovin calculation, the number of samples taken was 149 OPD ‎officials. The data analysis technique used SEM-PLS. The analysis shows that transformational leadership and organizational climate influ‎ence organizational performance. This means that the better the implementation of transformational leadership and the more conducive the ‎organizational climate, the higher the organizational performance achieved. This demonstrates the importance of leaders in inspiring and ‎motivating employees and creating a work environment that supports the achievement of organizational goals. Transformational leadership ‎and organizational climate influence organizational commitment.  Employees will feel more emotionally attached to the organization. Organi‎zational commitment influences organizational performance, meaning that the higher the level of employee commitment to the organization, ‎the better the performance will be. Highly committed employees tend to be more dedicated, work optimally, and contribute to the organization’s success. Organizational commitment mediates the effect of transformational leadership and organizational climate on organizational ‎performance‎.
