Abstract
The number of academic researches on innovation has been steadily on the rise. Yet these researches focus primarily on economic impacts of technological transformations and product and process innovations based on technology (Damanpour, 2014). The number of researches and academic publications about management innovation are relatively low with respect to technological innovation. Yet organizational innovations occurred as a result of management innovations, are considered as a prerequisite for technological innovations (Sanidas, 2005). In this regard, the aim of this study is to analyze the impact of transformational leadership sub-components such as idealized influence (charisma), inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation and individual consideration on management innovation. The research data are obtained through 198 Turkish public managers. The analyses reveals that individual consideration has a positive and significant impact on management innovation, whereas other sub-components such as idealized influence (charisma), inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation do not cause a significant impact. Keywords: Management innovation, innovation, transformational leadership, Leadership, administrative innovation. JEL Classification: M1, O30, O31
