Abstract

Organizational innovation is an important issue for companies to adapt to the changing external environment, improve the competitiveness of the organization, and achieve growth. This study aims to assess the impact of transformational leadership style and employee creativity with organizational innovation, as well as the moderating role of intrinsic motivation. One of the key skills for the growth of contemporary companies is creativity and innovation, which can boost an organization's sense of identity and job satisfaction in addition to providing significant financial advantages. However, it is difficult to maintain innovation and competitive advantage in the quickly evolving business environment of today. Thus, an important area of research in organizational management is how to enhance employee creativity and organizational innovation.
