Abstract

In today’s fast-moving and competitive business world, companies need to keep innovating to stay ahead. Studying organizational innovative culture is essential for understanding how businesses can systematically cultivate an environment that supports innovation, enhances performance, and ensures long-term sustainability. A strong culture of innovation within an organization is essential for encouraging creativity, adaptability, and groundbreaking ideas. By studying this culture, organizations can learn how to create an environment that promotes ongoing improvement and adds real value. This research becomes even more important when we look at what influences this culture of innovation. Transformational leadership is a key factor, as it inspires employees, builds a shared vision, and encourages them to take risks. However, the connection between transformational leadership and an innovative culture isn’t always straightforward. Here, an organizational learning culture acts as a bridge, helping to connect leadership with a company’s ability to innovate. By understanding how this connection works, organizations can develop specific strategies to boost their innovative potential.
