Abstract:

With the development of technology and the new economy in a global village environment, different organizations emerged with strong hand to take control over the property development and construction sector. The research aimed at understanding the mediating factor that contingent rewardplays in the relationship between transformational, transactional leadership styles and quality attention. To achieve the aim, a quantitative research is attempted to identify how contingent rewardprogram is employed for the transformational, transactional leadership styles in order to increase the level of quality attention.The research used questionnaire as the quantitative tool. The field work was done by distributing questionnaire to 244 leaders and supervisors within the Saudi construction sector. The results of the study indicated that both transformational and transactional leadership had a positive influence on the contingent reward and leadto a good attention to quality. However, the transformational leadership was found to be more affected by the level of Contingency reward which in turn lead to a better-quality attention through its variables namely Charisma, Inspirational motivation, Intellectual stimulation and Individualized consideration. These variables had higher influence based on the coefficient results with the transactional leadership along with its variables including Expected efforts, Expected performance and Contingent reward. These findings highlight the need to examine the relationship between management and leadership in accordance with the brand equity and market value of the organization.

Keywords:
