Abstract

This study examines the transformational leadership behavior for organizational change by creating the environment of sharing knowledge in organizational and individual level of the organization for a sample of 300 employees and their managers. The data analysis using confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling explores the results of knowledge sharing for organizational change. Rather, this study explains the two dimensions from transformational leadership to knowledge sharing and organizational change, and their relationship has been identified. The results show that transformational leadership has a strong and significant relationship with knowledge sharing, knowledge sharing has strong and significant relationship with organizational change, and at last, the transformational leadership has positive and significant relationship with organizational change. This study also explores the theoretical, managerial, and practical implications.
