Abstract
Transformational leadership is one of the leadership models capable of positively influencing employee motivation and work productivity.

The method used in this research is a qualitative descriptive method with a literature study approach. Data were collected from scientific sources such as books, journals, and previous research relevant to the study topic. The results indicate that transformational leadership has a significant relationship with increased employee motivation through inspiration, individual consideration, and innovation encouragement.
