Transformational leadership influence on organizational performance through organizational learning and innovation

Abstract

This study analyzes the influences of transformational leadership on organizational performance through the
\ndynamic capabilities of organizational learning and innovation. Although these indirect interrelations are very
\nimportant for improving organizational performance, previous research has not usually explored them. The
\nstudy confirms these influences empirically, basing the analysis on a sample of 168 Spanish firms. The results
\nreveal that (1) transformational leadership influences organizational performance positively through
\norganizational learning and innovation; (2) organizational learning influences organizational performance
\npositively, both directly and indirectly through organizational innovation; (3) organizational innovation
\ninfluences organizational performance positively.
