Abstract

Perceived as the driving force of organizational performance, innovation has become today the major challenge of all institutions. Based on leadership theories, the objective of this study is to analyze the contribution of the components of transformational leadership to the development of different types of innovation within the banking sector in Lebanon. Exploiting a qualitative approach based on semi-structured interviews conducted with seven senior executives occupying key positions in five major commercial banks in Lebanon, our research confirms the essential role of intellectual stimulation and inspirational motivation of transformational leadership in the banking innovation, while the other two dimensions, the idealized influence and individualized consideration, play a very limited role in the banking sector. This study allows us to better understand the role of each of the transformational leadership dimensions in order to promote and escort innovation in the banking sector.
