Abstract
The present study examined relationships between transformational leadership, valence,
and employee championing behavior in the settings of the Bangladesh banking sector
during organizational change. In total, 300 responses from the employees of the Bangla-
desh banking sector were used to assess the transformational leadership style, valence and
employee championing behavior while managing change. To test the proposed hypotheses,
structural equation modeling was utilized. The results showed that transformational leader-
ship style had a significant positive relationship with employees' valence and championing
behavior during organizational change. Also, valence had significant positive relationship
with the championing behavior at the time of organizational change. Besides, employee
championing behavior partially mediated the relationship between transformational leader-
ship and employee championing behavior while managing change in the organization. The
observed associations and mediation were consistent across the prior empirical studies.
The findings provide insights into how transformational leadership style corresponds with
employees' championing behavior in the context of organizational change.
