The Mediating Role of Leader-member Exchange on the Relationship between Perceived Transformational Leadership and Innovative Work Behavior

Abstract

Leader member exchange and transformational leadership are crucial determinants to innovative work behavior among teachers. Nonetheless, studies on these variables in order to inculcate teachers’ innovative work behaviour are still understudied. Hence, this study is to review the structural relationship between perceived transformational leadership and leader member exchange on innovative work behavior among teachers. A total of 352 teachers from High performing schools in Malaysia were involved in the study. The Smart PLS has been proposed for conceptual model of this study. The analysis shows that there are four results have supported the hypothesis, and the three results of study have not supported this study. This study culminates with opportunities for future work.
