Abstract

The research is aimed at examining the mediating role played by psychological capital in the relationship between five dimensions of transformational leadership (i.e. Attributive Charisma, Idealized influence, Inspirational Motivation, Intellectual stimulation and Individualized consideration) and innovative work behavior. A purposive sample of 115 respondents from the service sector of Oman was chosen for the research. The instruments developed by Bass and Avolio (1995), Janssen (2000) by Luthans, Avolio, Avey, and Norman (2007) were used to measure Transformational Leadership, Innovative work Behavior and Psychological Capital respectively. All the instruments were adapted according to the Omani culture. The hypothesized mediated role of psychological capital was fully supported in the relationship between only three dimensions of transformational leadership (i.e. Idealized influence, Intellectual stimulation and Individualized consideration) and innovative work behavior. Limitations and direction of future research were also discussed.
