Transformational Leadership and Innovative Work Behavior in an IT Department of a Public Organization in the Kingdom of Bahrain
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to provide an understanding of the role that transformational leadership plays in innovative work behavior of employees in an IT department of a public organization in Bahrain. An online questionnaire hyperlink was sent to 127 randomly chosen employees. The completed and submitted questionnaires were 98, at a response rate of 77%. Results of the Spearman rank correlation tests indicated that there were significant relationships between transformational factors and employees' innovative behavior, except for the idealized influence factor that showed no significant relationships. Furthermore, the study found significant relationships between innovative behaviors and employee demographic variables (gender and academic qualification). Managers need to react positively to the innovative efforts of employees and provide them with resources and rewards needed for innovation.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
