This study aims to analyze the effect of transformational leadership on organizational behavior in government agencies in Medan, Indonesia. Using a quantitative approach with a survey method, this study involved 250 civil servants from various government agencies in Medan. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire that measured the dimensions of transformational leadership (idealized influence, inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation, and individualized consideration) and organizational behavior variables (organizational commitment, job satisfaction, and employee performance). Data analysis used Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with the help of AMOS 24 software. The results showed that transformational leadership had a positive and significant effect on organizational behavior (β = 0.687; p < 0.001). The dimension of inspirational motivation was the strongest predictor in shaping positive organizational behavior. This study provides practical contributions to the development of leadership capacity in the Indonesian public sector, particularly in the context of bureaucratic reform and improving the quality of public services.
