Leadership plays an important role in the success of educational organizations, particularly through the application of transformational leadership, which emphasizes inspiration, motivation, and member empowerment. This study aims to analyze the role of transformational leadership in improving performance, organizational commitment, and the effectiveness of educational organizations. The method used in this study is a Systematic Literature Review of scientific articles published between 2021–2026, sourced from reputable academic databases, namely Scopus, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar. The findings indicate that transformational leadership is consistently associated with improved individual performance, stronger organizational commitment, and the development of more collaborative and innovative organizational cultures. However, the magnitude of these effects may vary depending on contextual factors such as organizational culture and institutional characteristics. Overall, the results suggest that transformational leadership contributes to efforts to improve educational quality through continuous human resource development and the creation of adaptive work environments. Therefore, transformational leadership can be considered a relevant approach to support the effectiveness of educational organizations in addressing the dynamic challenges of the modern era, both in practical implementation and as a foundation for further theoretical development.
