Abstract

The evolution of leadership throughout the 21st century brings out the question of leader’s effectiveness with respect to global knowledge. In particular, leaders play a key role to facilitate the process of innovation and organizational development. Transformational leaders must have an influential role in helping organizations and cope with the challenges they face from expanding their knowledge base. With this in mind, a revision of the existing literature on the field has been done, which underlines that the need for knowledge of how to lead these transformed organizations has increased. Based on literature review and previous work, this paper’s aim is to investigate the influence of transformational leadership on knowledge-based organizations. This study shows that transformational leadership is an important determinant of organizational knowledge. Also, using transformational leadership in knowledge-based organizations, enhances services efficiency, the relationship with customers, and creates a sense of responsibility for change.
