Transformational leadership and innovative work behaviour: The mediating role of knowledge sharing / Dönüşümsel liderlik ve yenilikçi iş davranışı: Bilgi paylaşımının aracı rolü

摘要: This study investigates the function of knowledge sharing in the relationship between transformational leadership and innovative work behaviour. To fulfil this purpose, 287 questionnaires were collected from the employees of 4 and 5-star hotels operating in Turkey's Samsun province and were analyzed with the help of smartpls3. According to the research results, transformational leadership (TL) positively affects innovative work behaviour (IWB), knowledge collecting (KC), and knowledge donating (KD). Additionally, KC positively impacts IWB. Besides, KC has a mediating effect on the relationship between TL and IWB. On the other hand, it was ended that KD does not have a fundamental effect on IWB. The results of the research offer significant implications for theory and practice.
