Abstract

This research primarily aims to identify the relationship between transformational leadership. across its four dimensions (Idealized Influence. Inspirational Motivation. Intellectual Stimulation. and Individualized Consideration). and job burnout of the respondents. and the study was conducted on a random sample of 318 female faculty members who live in the countryside from theoretical (n=203) and practical (n=115) faculties of Al-Azhar University's girls' colleges in Cairo. encompassing both northern and southern campuses. Data was collected via an electronic questionnaire. Descriptive statistics (frequencies. percentages. arithmetic mean. standard deviation. weighted arithmetic mean) and inferential statistics were employed for analysis. Reliability was assessed using Cronbach's Alpha and the Split-Half method. Further analyses included Pearson's simple correlation coefficients. stepwise regression analysis (upward method). t-tests. and F-tests. A descriptive and analytical methodology guided the research. The most prominent finding revealed a significant inverse correlation (p ≤ 0.01) between transformational leadership and its four dimensions. and the the degree of job burnout of the respondents. The study concludes with recommendations based on these findings.
