The study revealed that transformational leadership style directly influences corporate performance significantly, while institutional quality and political competition did not mediate the relationship between transformational leadership and corporate performance. However, institutional quality and political competition have direct positive and negative effect on corporate performance. In this study, there was no direct relationship between transformational leadership and institution quality as well as political competition but transformational leadership, institution quality and political competition have significant effect on corporate performance independently.
