Abstract
The present study aimed to examine the relationship between
transformational leadership facets and innovative work behavior
among employees in educational institutions. Multifactor
Leadership Questionnaire (Almas, 2007) and Innovative Work
Behavior Scale (Butt, 2006) were used to collect the information.
Sample for the study consisted of 200 employees from educational
institutions. Purposive convenient sampling technique was applied
to collect the data from schools, colleges, and universities. Pearson
correlation was applied to study the relationship between
transformational leadership and innovative work behavior facets.
Most of the findings were in line with the hypothesized
assumptions. Results indicate that five elements of
transformational leadership including idealize influence attributed,
idealized influence behavior, inspirational motivation, intellectual
stimulation, and individualized consideration are significantly
correlated with four elements of innovative work behavior
including idea promotion, idea generation, work commitment and
idea implementation. It is hoped that findings of the study would
be helpful in the selection, recruitment and other development
practices for the employees in the educational institutions as it is
seen that transformational style and its facets were significantly
positively correlated with innovative work behavior and its facets.
