Abstract

Organizations are progressively focusing on emerging transformational leadership in their leaders as it leads to better organizational outcomes. Though transformational leadership have been observed in prior literature, only a small number of studies emphasized the role of transformational leadership style in raising employee creativity. This study aims to investigate the effect of transformational leaders on employee creativity in Pakistani organizational context. Data from 253 employees of commercial banks in Pakistan revealed that transformational leadership is positively related to employee creativity. Furthermore, results indicate that employee organizational commitment mediated the relationship of transformational leadership and employee creativity. These results suggest that managers can enhance creativity of employees by adapting transformational leadership style. This style will help the managers to increase the commitment of their subordinates with organization.
