Issue Abstract

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a critical enabler of organizational transformation, particularly within the IT industry. This study investigates the role of AI in transformational leadership by examining the relationship between demographic variables, AI contribution levels in transformational leadership. Primary data were collected from 130 IT employees. Percentage analysis and chi-square tests were employed. The findings reveal that demographic variables do not significantly influence transformational leadership, and AI contribution levels show no statistically significant relationship with transformational leadership. The study concludes that while AI supports leadership processes, transformational leadership remains predominantly human-driven.

Keywords: Artificial Intelligence, Transformational Leadership, IT Industry, Demographic Factors, Chi-square Analysis
