Abstract

This study aims to assess how transformational leadership influences teaching effectiveness and commitment, with a focus on accounting teachers. It seeks to determine how these leadership traits impact teaching and commitment, leading to the design of an empowerment program to foster high performance and overall school success.The researcher used a descriptive correlational research design utilizing a quantitative research method and utilized 86 accounting teachers of any of the following universities and colleges such Dongguan University of Technology, Guangdong Medical University, Guangdong University of Science and Technology, Guangzhou Xinhua College, and Dongguan City College in Cbina. The findings indicate that transformational leadership significantly enhances teaching effectiveness and commitment among accounting teachers, particularly in areas related to student outcomes. However, while it positively influences commitment to students, there is a need for targeted programs to further strengthen commitment to the profession and subject matter, incorporating professional development and mentorship initiatives.
