Since previous studies identified leadership as an important determinant of organizational innovation, this study seeks to explore the direct and moderated effect of transformational leadership on organizational innovation at the organizational level.

description Leading innovation in today’s competitive business environment is one of the most challenging aspects of the life of an organization. Review of literature indicates that although innovation is accepted as a key factor to future competitiveness of the firms, in many developing countries but organizational innovation is not a priority and generally neglected. Since previous studies identified leadership as an important determinant of organizational innovation, this study seeks to explore the direct and moderated effect of transformational leadership on organizational innovation at the organizational level. Therefore, this study develops a conceptual framework to show the moderating effect of innovative behaviours (idea generating, risk taking, decision making) as an organizational context on the relationship of transformational leadership and organizational innovation. A sample of 63 companies from “Top 100 Iranian Companies” participated in this research.
