According to the demographics of the respondents, with regards to the
number of years in the organization, it was found that most, 33.9 percent, of the
respondents had not more than five years’ experience in the organization. This would
imply that most leaders have worked for the organization for only five years. In

Accordingly, a small numbers of years of working do not bring about fully-employed
Transformational Leadership Styles within the organization. This finding is insightful
in that highly-experienced managers have had time to demonstrate their abilities as
transformational leaders while the lower-experienced management has not.
Furthermore, their subordinates have recognized and experienced those
transformational behaviors. As a result, subordinates have rated the management more
objectively and accurately than those that have had less time experiencing their
management behaviors. Accordingly, some HPOs have not fully employed the
Transformational Leadership Style within their organization and some
Transformational Leadership Styles have no significant correlation with HPOs in
large, medium and small publicly-listed firms in Thailand. For these reasons, the
researcher recommends that organizations fully employ the Transformational
Leadership Style throughout organizations in order to enhance organizational
performance to become HPOs.
