How Organizational Insiders become Innovator: Perspective of Transformational Leadership in Public Organizations

By Naseeer Abbas Khan

The public sector needs to develop knowledge about successful innovations, understand the mechanisms of change and its influencing factors, and understand the special challenges facing the public sector employees. Unfortunately, in the public management literature, mainstream leadership styles, including transformational leadership, have received little attention, which is inspiring and helps promote creative behavior among followers. In this book, author addressed the knowledge gap by using mediating variables (i.e. team learning, knowledge sharing, and absorptive capacity) to investigate the impact of transformational leadership on team member innovation in public organizations. This study also introduced the information technology application as a moderator in the relationship between transformational leadership and team innovation. Survey data came from 407 respondents (89 teams) of local government organizations in Pakistan. The overall research results support our hypotheses. Besides, this book also discusses the research results, significance, limitations and future research directions.
