Abstract

This systematic review explores the dynamics of transformational leadership among university lecturers in public universities in Xi'an, China. Drawing on a range of validated research instruments and employing a rigorous methodology, this study investigates the interplay between spiritual intelligence, mindfulness, organizational justice, structure alignment, social responsibility, job satisfaction, and their impact on transformational leadership. Through a comprehensive analysis of self-administered questionnaires, this review sheds light on the critical factors influencing leadership behaviors in higher education settings, offering valuable insights for academics, policymakers, and institutional leaders aiming to foster transformative educational environments.
