Résumé
This research aims to define the concept of transformational leadership and its developmental role in enhancing the competencies of university faculty members. It employs a descriptive, quantitative, and qualitative approach, relying on personal interviews with 65 faculty members (male and female) and questionnaires with 830 faculty members. The study found that transformational leadership is practiced within the university community by administrators, based on collaborative work with staff. Furthermore, the study demonstrated the crucial role of the principles and foundations of transformational leadership in enhancing the competencies of university faculty members. These factors were ranked as follows: ideal influence, inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation, and finally, adherence to the law. The study also confirmed the absence of statistically significant differences in the responses of the study sample regarding the principles and foundations of transformational leadership and its impact on enhancing the competencies of university academics, from their perspective, based on the gender variable.
