Abstract
As more businesses adopt the "projectification" trend because it is believed to be effective, the impact of transformational leadership on employee engagement in low-income building projects is expanding. As the world grows increasingly projectified, there is a need to understand why so many project execution procedures fail. The debate today centres on human behaviour and human errors since technology has improved operational systems' efficiency more than at any other point in human history. The primary focus of this study was the influence that transformational leadership is capable of having in the low-income areas. We took into account the variations in the tasks, the personalities of the leaders, and the expectations of the workers who will be impacted by the ensuing leadership style. A form of taxonomy of the skills required for effective leadership was developed as part of the investigation into the ideal generic competencies. We looked at the skills of these numerous leaders and the typical behaviour as observed by the followers.
The foundation for the demographic study was provided by the varied fields of the construction projects. There are only a few transformational leaders who, in an ideal world, would have the abilities needed for project team leaders to build effective teams.
To gather data for this research, a questionnaire was given to project managers and team members in several depots. To eliminate subjectivity and prejudice from the participant selection procedure, random sampling was adopted. This was repeated at every location where transformational leadership was being practiced, allowing for objective data collection techniques that gave the information gathered legitimacy and reliability. Diagrams and graphs were used to analyse the responses after they were recorded on a Google questionnaire. In order to gather information for this research, a research tool (questionnaire) was developed. The questionnaire was used since the mixed research method that was used informed the notion of the questionnaire to be used. Theoretical support exists for the notion that project managers have a significant impact on team members' output. That was evident even from the survey's results. The research findings should be useful to a wide range of leaders at various levels, with a variety of jobs and competences to use, to have a positive effect on the project team and eliminate project failures.
