Evaluation of the impact of transformational leadership style on knowledge management considering the mediating role of organisational structure and organisational culture

Abstract

The main objective of the current research is to evaluate the impact of transformational leadership style on knowledge management considering the mediating role of organisational culture and organisational structure in a selected public organisation in Iran. The research population included 220 employees of this public organisation. The research sample was selected using Cochran's formula in a limited population and randomised sampling method. The required data were collected based on the research model through a questionnaire. Multivariate regression and structural equation modelling (path analysis) were used to evaluate the relationship between variables and testing the hypotheses. The results revealed a significant and positive relationship between the transformational leadership style and knowledge management at the 95% confidence level. Other research results also confirmed the effect of mediating variables of organisational culture and organisation structure on the relationship between transformational leadership style and knowledge management.
