Abstract 

This study examined the effects of transformational leadership on the commitment of employees at Taiwanese social welfare foundations for the disabled through the mediation variables of clan culture and adhocracy culture. SPSS 22 was utilized to analyze the data and descriptive statistics, Person correlation coefficient, and sequential multiple regression analysis were used to examine these hypotheses. The result of this study showed that there was a weak and positive correlation between age and organizational commitment and there was a medium and positive correlation between length of employment and organizational commitment. Besides, the findings showed that there a strong and positive correlation between transformational leadership and organizational commitment. But there was no correlation between clan culture/ adhocracy culture and organizational commitment. In addition, transformational leadership had a significant additional predictive power on organizational commitment after controlling for covariates. The finding showed that another mediating variable (adhocracy culture/adhocracy culture) was not able to mediate between transformational leadership and organizational commitment. The researcher suggested that Taiwan's nursing faculty should devote themselves to developing their own unique organizational culture as the most pressing matter at the moment. This study provided the current phenomenon which is worthy of deep consideration by social welfare foundations in Taiwan. Thus, organizational culture, as illustrated by clan culture and adhocracy culture, failed to develop their influence power in improving employee commitment within these institutions.
