Abstract

This study aimed to examine (1) the levels of transformational leadership and good governance, (2) comparing good governance with personnel, (3) analyzing the relationship between transformational leadership and good governance among personnel. (4) influential factors of transformational leadership on good governance.

 The sample group consisted of 265 personnel from district public health offices and sub-district health promotion hospitals in Chumphon province.  Data were collected using questionnaires with reliability coefficients of 0.76 for good governance and 0.87 for transformational leadership. The analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics, t-tests, one-way ANOVA, Spearman rank correlation, and stepwise multiple regression analysis.

The research findings revealed that (1) transformational leadership behaviors and good governance of personnel were at a high level; (2) different personal factors did not significantly affect good governance; (3) transformational leadership was significantly correlated with good governance at the 0.01 level; and (4) The influence of transformational leadership on good governance in descending order, included individual consideration and idealized influence, collectively explaining 40% of the variance in good governance (Adjusted R-Square = 0.40)

Therefore, executives should prioritize and promote the development of transformational leadership focused on individualized consideration, idealized influence, and good governance among personnel at all levels, which may lead to increased efficiency in staffs’ performance.
