Abstract: This study delves into the intricate dynamics of the relationship between transformational leadership and the levels of knowledge-sharing and innovation experienced by faculty in academic settings. Leadership within educational institutions serves as a linchpin, influencing faculty members through directional guidance, strategic plan implementation, and motivational initiatives. Transformational leadership emerges as a prominent and widely adopted style within the academic milieu, known for its efficacy in inspiring elevated performance, presenting intellectual challenges, and attentively addressing the diverse needs of faculty members. The research underscores the profound impact of transformational leadership on cultivating a culture of knowledge-sharing and innovation within educational contexts. Through a comprehensive exploration of the subject, the study reveals that the transformative leadership style serves as a catalyst, significantly accelerating both innovation and knowledge-sharing among academic faculty. The implications of these findings extend beyond theoretical considerations, offering practical insights into the enhancement of educational environments. This article contributes to the scholarly discourse and presents a nuanced understanding of the role of transformational leadership in fostering innovation and knowledge-sharing within academic institutions. The robust empirical evidence and insightful analyses presented in this study make it a valuable addition to the body of knowledge, suitable for publication in Scopus-indexed journals where it can further enrich academic discussions and contribute to advancing leadership theories in educational settings.
