RESEARCH ON THE INFLUENCE OF TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERSHIP AND ORGANIZATIONAL MOTIVATION ON EMPLOYEE INNOVATIVE BEHAVIOR IN HIGH-TECH ENTERPRISES

This study explores the mechanism of transformational leadership's impact on employee innovation behavior and introduces organizational motivation as a mediating variable. Based on motivation theory and social exchange theory, transformational leadership is divided into four dimensions: moral example, vision motivation, personalized care, and leadership charisma. Organizational motivation is divided into two dimensions: material motivation and development motivation. A questionnaire survey of 341 employees of high-tech enterprises found that: (1) Vision motivation, personalized care, and leadership charisma in transformational leadership have a significant positive impact on employee innovation behavior, while the dimension of moral example has no significant impact; (2) Vision motivation, personalized care, and leadership charisma have a significant positive impact on material motivation and development motivation; (3) Material motivation and development motivation have a significant positive impact on employee innovation behavior; (4) Organizational motivation plays a partial mediating role between transformational leadership and employee innovation behavior. This study enriches the research on the mechanism of transformational leadership affecting employee innovation behavior and provides theoretical and practical inspiration for enterprises to promote employee innovation.
