The purpose of this study was to clarify the Pre-ODI and Post-ODI situations regarding Moral Modeling, Vision Motivation, Leadership Charm, Individualized Consideration, and Leadership Effectiveness in the Department of Economic Management. To design practical ODIs to improve these variables and subsequently enhance leadership effectiveness. To identify significant differences in these variables between Pre-ODI and Post-ODI and to measure the causal relationships among them. Both qualitative and quantitative research methods were used to compare and analyze the situations Pre-ODI and Post-ODI. Data were collected through questionnaires and focus group. This study selected 99 teachers from the Department of Economics and Management and 3 vice presidents of HIU as research samples. Quantitative data were analyzed using frequency, percentage, paired sample T-tests, and multiple linear regression analysis. Qualitative data were analyzed using content analysis. The quantitative analysis revealed significant changes in the mean values of each variable Pre-ODI and Post-ODI, demonstrating the effectiveness of the intervention. There were significant differences in Moral Modeling, Vision Motivation, Leadership Charm, Individualized Consideration, and Leadership Effectiveness between Pre-ODI and Post-ODI periods. It can be concluded that each independent variable has a significant influence on the dependent variable. A causal relationship exists among them. Through qualitative data analysis, this study identifies strategies for improving the transformational leadership of middle managers.
