Impact of Transformational Leadership on Organizational Innovation among Government Employees

Abstract

In this study, the researchers used the SEM-PLS technique and analysed the 389 valid questionnaires for assessing the proposed model which was based on the different Transformational Leadership (TL) characteristics. They aimed to determine its impact on the innovative activities of the governmental organisations in the UAE. The major independent constructs used in the study were the 4 dimensions of the TL, i.e., intellectual stimulation, inspirational motivation, idealised influence and individualised consideration. On the other hand, the dependent construct included the organisational innovation in activities like process innovation, product innovation and administrative innovation. The researchers have described the relationship between the different constructs. This study could improve insight into the significance of TL and organisational innovation. The results showed that the independent variables could help in predicting innovation. Furthermore, the proposed model could explain 63.6% of the variance that was seen in the organisational innovation.
