Abstract: The study assessed the influence of transformational leadership on organizational culture for Tanzanian public sports organizations. Transformational leadership was measured by idealized influence, inspirational motivation, intellectual and individualized consideration dimensions. The culture was measured by sayings/slogans, rituals, clothing and office arrangement. The study utilized 153 staff selected using the random sampling technique from the population of 248 staff from the Ministry of Culture and Sports (MoCAS) in Tanzania. The structured questionnaire was used to collect data, and data was entered into IBM SPSS and AMOS software. The data was analyzed using Structural Equation Modelling. The study revealed that idealized influence and inspirational motivation did not affect the implementing culture. However, Intellectual stimulation and individualized positively and significantly influenced the culture. Therefore, to make cultural practice effective, the management of sports organizations should formulate a policy that promotes idealized influence and inspirational motivation.
