Abstract

This study aims to explore the mechanisms by which transformational leadership affects organizational innovation ability. Through a literature review, a theoretical model covering transformational leadership, organizational learning, knowledge management, and organizational innovation ability was constructed, and a structural equation model was used to analyze the relevant secondary data. The results show: Transformational leadership has a significant positive impact on organizational innovation ability. Between transformational leadership and organizational innovation ability, organizational learning plays a partial mediating role and knowledge management also plays a partial mediating role. Additionally, organizational learning and knowledge management are significantly positively correlated and both play a mediating role together. This study enriches the theoretical research on the relationship between transformational leadership and organizational innovation ability and reveals the mechanism of action, providing practical experience for enterprises to cultivate transformational leaders and enhance organizational innovation ability. Future research can further explore the moderating role of situational factors and the long-term impact of transformational leadership on organizational innovation ability from a longitudinal perspective.
