El estudio tuvo como objetivo analizar la relación entre el liderazgo transformacional y el desempeño docente en tres instituciones de Educación Básica de la Zona 8, provincia del Guayas, Ecuador. Se desarrolló bajo un enfoque cuantitativo, con alcance descriptivo correlacional, diseño no experimental y corte transversal. La población estuvo conformada por 115 docentes y, mediante criterios de inclusión, se seleccionó una muestra de 94 participantes. La información se recopiló mediante una encuesta digital compuesta por 10 ítems en escala Likert: cinco orientados a medir el liderazgo transformacional y cinco destinados a evaluar el desempeño docente. El análisis incluyó frecuencias, porcentajes, media, mediana, moda, desviación estándar y el coeficiente rho de Spearman. Los resultados simulados mostraron niveles moderadamente favorables en liderazgo transformacional, con una media de 3,61, y en desempeño docente, con una media de 3,65. La correlación alcanzó un valor de 0,618 y una significación inferior a 0,001, lo que evidenció una asociación positiva moderada y estadísticamente significativa. Se concluyó que el fortalecimiento de la comunicación directiva, la motivación, el acompañamiento profesional y la innovación podría contribuir al mejoramiento conjunto de la gestión institucional y de las prácticas pedagógicas docentes.
