dc.description.abstractResponses to Christian mission work in Nigeria have produced some expressions of faith which actively involve mission work. This has led to formation of Indigenous Missionary Organisations (IMOs) to further carry out the task of the Great Commission through transformational leadership style, mission policy formulation and implementation. It was confirmed that the administration of the organisations differ one from the other and while some provides for smooth running and progress, abnormalities were spotted in others, and such challenges often pose threats to the growth of mission work. Therefore, the study, which examined transformational leadership styles as determinants of mission policy formulation and implementation in selected indigenous missionary organisations in Nigeria, was anchored on transformational leadership theory. The study adopted exploratory sequential research design. Sample for the study involved a total of 154 respondents selected from the five IMOs. Three duly-validated research-designed instruments were used for data collection, namely Checklist, Questionnaire with r =0.745 and Interview Schedule. Data were analysed using frequency counts, percentages, mean and regression analysis. Findings revealed that patterns of mission policy statement of IMOs were highly relevant to biblical doctrines, reflected positive disposition to staffing, funding, salaries, welfare and staff conduct. Procedures for mission policy formulation had high affirmation. Further findings revealed that features of transformational leadership are highly prominent among the leaders of IMOs with empathy, integrity, self-awareness, motivation and visionary while strategies deployed recorded high and positive responses. Again, findings revealed that policy implementation of the IMOs was rated high and there was a relationship between policy formulation of IMOs and prominent strategies deployed; patterns of mission policy recorded (0.57), strategies deployed (0.44) and implementation (0.46), and non–significance was tested at p=0.05. The study concludes that there is high relationship between transformational leadership styles, mission policy formulation and implementation among IMOs in Nigeria. Therefore, it is recommended that mission organisations should employ leaders with qualities that can impact mission efforts.
