Abstract:
In this paper, we use solid evidence to examine the relations of transformational leadership, leader-
member exchange (LMX) and employee’s innovative behavior. The results showed: (1) transformational
leadership was significant positively related to leader-member exchange, which mostly comes from
morale modeling and individualized consideration; (2) transformational leadership was significant
positively related to employee’s innovative behavior, which mostly comes from vision and charisma; (3)
leader-member exchange was significant positively related to employee’s innovative behavior, which
mostly comes from contribution and respect; (4) leader-member exchange help displayed a mediating
effect on the relationship between transformational leadership and employee’s innovative behavior.
