dc.description.abstractThe study examined an appraisal of transformational leadership style as a strategy for human resources management towards sustainable growth in Oyo Baptist Conference. Previous studies revealed that some pastors in churches and church organisations are well-educated in spiritual formation but lack administrative aspects and, therefore, face administrative challenges. However, this study explored how transformational leadership can be utilised in managing human resources for sustainable church growth in Oyo Baptist Conference. A descriptive survey research design was adopted for the study. The sample size was 300 respondents, comprising fifty (50) pastors, fifty (50) deacons, fifty (50) church workers, and one hundred and fifty (150) church members. They were purposefully selected randomly from fifty (50) Baptist churches from ten (10) selected Baptist Associations out of twenty-two (22) in Oyo Baptist Conference whose responses were subjected to descriptive statistics. The research instruments used for this study were a self-structured questionnaire and an interview guide administered to some leaders in the selected churches. The findings revealed the negative effects of mismanagement of human resources in churches of Oyo Baptist Conference. These effects include youth migration to other denominations (86.7%), reduction in numerical growth (89.7%), stunted growth (88.4%), lack of resource personnel (86%), delay in goal actualisation (94.7%) and so on. The study revealed that the means to manage human resources for sustainable church growth in churches of Oyo Baptist Conference are: utilising recognition system for church workers (96.6%), church workers review and evaluations (87.4%), involving members in church activities (97.7%), effective delegation of duties (91.7%), leadership development (86.7%), accountability (82.6%) and continuous mentoring (86.7%). Transformational leadership approach affords everyone involved in the organisation to move at the same pace and get the goals and the missions of the organisation achieved. The study, therefore, recommends that churches in the conference ensure that human resources are adequately motivated by praise and honest appreciation.
