Background: Improving quality of relationship among hospital staff and leaders is a necessity to increase levels of job satisfaction and organisational commitment. Transformational leadership style has become an ideal practical solution that can resolve these dilemmas and enhance the quality of healthcare services and patients’ safety. This study aims to examine the impact of transformational leadership on job satisfaction and organisational commitment among hospital staff. Methods: The research strategy for this systematic review involves four electronic databases. Empirical peer-reviewed studies that uses quantitative design and that examines the relationship among transformational leadership, job satisfaction and organisational commitment among hospital staff, are included. Studies are evaluated by using a quality assessment tool, and the data extraction table and analysis are completed on the entire included studies. Results: A total of 367 titles and abstracts are screened, yielding 26 studies that are included in this review. The collected variables are analysed to determine the effect of transformational leadership style on job satisfaction and organisational commitment. A total of 19 studies examining the relationship between transformational leadership and job satisfaction ( n = 15) are found to have a positive relationship, while 13 studies examining the relationship between transformational leadership and organisational commitment ( n = 11) are found to have a positive relationship. Conclusion: The results of the review provide evidence that transformational leadership has a great effect on hospital staff and the hospital environment. The transformational leadership style should be universally used in hospitals to increase medical staff job satisfaction and organisational commitment, which may lead to increased productivity, quality of healthcare services and patients’ safety.
