Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of transactional leadership on staff performance at Lamappapoleonro University. Transactional leadership emphasizes reciprocal relationships between leaders and subordinates through a clear system of rewards and punishments. This research employed a quantitative approach using a survey method involving 45 administrative staff members of Lamappapoleonro University. Data were analyzed using simple linear regression. The results indicate that transactional leadership has a positive and significant effect on staff performance. In other words, the higher the implementation of transactional leadership by superiors, the better the staff performance in accomplishing their duties. This finding highlights the importance of leadership practices that focus on goal clarity, reward mechanisms, and performance evaluations to enhance staff productivity in higher education institutions
