IMPACT OF CHARISMATIC LEADERSHIP ON ORGANIZATIONAL GROWTH IN IT ORGANISATIONS IN CHENNAI

Abstract

Charismatic leaders play a crucial role in igniting passion within individuals, motivating them to strive for transformation. In an organisation, charismatic leadership serves as a powerful tool to inspire employees in reaching the company's objectives. However, if not executed properly, it may yield unsatisfactory results. Utilising appropriate tools and leadership approaches is crucial for achieving an organization’s long-term objectives. This study aims to examine how Charismatic Leadership influences Organisational Growth within IT organisations located in Chennai. A total of 161 individuals working in IT organisations in Chennai were chosen for the study. A non-probability sampling method was employed, specifically Convenience sampling, to select the samples. The questionnaire serves as the study instrument. Statistical tools applied include multiple regression analysis, one-way ANOVA, and Duncan’s Post Hoc test. Chronbach’s alpha is utilised to examine the reliability of the study. The data has been analysed using SPSS v25. The Chronbach’s alpha value of 0.861 indicates a reliability rate of 86.1% for the study. The findings indicate that factors associated with Charismatic Leadership—such as Presence, Inspiration, Communication, Appearance, and Self-esteem in an online context—are key predictors of Organisational Growth. A notable impact of age, experience, designation, and monthly income on organisational growth has been identified. These important insights outlined practical and theoretical implications for both scholars and decision-makers.
