Abstract: The general objective of this study was to analyze the role of transformational leadership on the implementation of a national government multi-agency project program in Kenya. The specific objectives were to examine the role of idealized influence and inspirational motivation and the moderating role of the legal framework on the implementation of digital literacy programs in Kenya. A descriptive and explorative research design was adopted as well as a positivism research philosophy. The target population of this study was 300 project managers in the program whereby Yamane’s formula (1967) was employed to determine the sample size to 171 project managers. The study used stratified random sampling; data was collected by the use of primary and secondary data. Secondary data was obtained from published reports and primary data was obtained by the use of semi-structured questionnaires to collect data. Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS version 24) was used to analyze data. Inferential and descriptive statistics were deployed to analyze data. The hypotheses were tested at a 5% level of significance. The study found that there is a significant role of idealized influence on the implementation of a digital literacy program in Kenya. Also, there is a significant role of inspirational motivation on the implementation of a digital literacy program in Kenya. The study, therefore, recommends the need for leaders to adopt a more idealized influence form of leadership. There is also a need for a high level of support from team members who are more organized and detail-oriented so that they can help in maintaining transactional focus.
Keywords: Literacy, idealized influence, inspirational motivation, legal framework.
