Transformational Leadership: Examining the role of Organizational Change and Organizational Innovation

Abstract

This study examined the role of Organizational Change (OC) and Organizational Innovation (OI) with relations to Transformational Leadership (TL). Since, conceptual model portrayed mediation, thus this study also examined the mediation effect between OC, TL and OI. This study was absolutely quantitative and explanatory with deductive approach to develop and test hypotheses based on the conceptual model followed by the positivist philosophy which is usually used in quantitative studies. Data sought through instrument (close-ended questionnaire) on seven point Likert scale from First Line Managers (FLMs) of private banks of Sindh. A sum of 107 close-ended questionnaires distributed among FLMs through convenience sampling out of which 100 received back for final data analysis. Two tools used for data analysis i-e, SPSS and PLS-SEM. Two conceptual models developed to test the relationships between factors. Direct effects model and specific indirect effects model. All direct relationships tested and approved through direct effects model and medication effect tested and approved through specific indirect effects model. Study revealed significant results particularly for private banks of Sindh which can be further corroborated while conducting the similar study in any other sector of the Sindh province.
