Effect of transformational leadership on intellectual capital

Abstract

This research has tried to study the effects of the developmental leadership on the intellectual capitals in the customs of Islamic Republic of Iran (I.R.I). The methodology of this descriptive and analytic research is based on structural equations model (SEM). In this case, researchers made sure of the efficacy of the computational models by using an analysis of a confirming factor. The results showed that transformational leadership has a positive and meaningful effect on human and structural capitals, but has not shown any meaningful effect on the customer capitals in the customs of I.R.I. In a clearer way, by improving the conditions of transformational leadership in the organization, human and structural capitals improve. Also, the results showed that transformational leadership by way of human capitals has a positive effect on the structural capitals of the organization. At the end, considering the final model of research and the effects of transformational leadership on the intellectual capitals, some suggestions have been proposed to develop parts of intellectual capitals and to expand transformational leadership. Key words: intellectual capital, human capital, structural capital, customer capital, transformational leadership, structural equations model.
