Abstract
This thesis examines the impact of transformational leadership on project performance in
Catholic Relief Services (CRS) Ethiopia, focusing on inspirational motivation, idealized
influence, intellectual stimulation, and individualized consideration. An explanatory research
design was used, collecting data from CRS project team members through a self-administered
questionnaire. A census approach was applied due to the small population size. Primary data
were gathered via a five-point Likert scale, while secondary data were sourced from journals,
books, and theses. SPSS v.23 was used for data analysis, including descriptive statistics and
multiple linear regression. Findings indicate that transformational leadership practices are
perceived as low, while project performance is moderate. Intellectual stimulation,
individualized consideration, and inspirational motivation significantly enhance project
performance, whereas idealized influence has no significant impact. The study recommends
strengthening these leadership aspects to improve project outcomes in CRS Ethiopia
