CIOs’ transformational leadership behaviors in community colleges in relation to information technology workers

The purpose of this quantitative, descriptive research study was to determine, through statistical analysis, any correlation between the perceived transformational leadership traits of CIOs at two-year community colleges in Kansas and measures of the job satisfaction among IT workers at those community colleges. The objectives of this research project were to help fill the gap in the body of knowledge about the growing number of employees of technology in higher education, and arm community college leaders with the information needed to better serve staff, and more positively affect employee experiences, leading to improved campus-based outcomes.
