Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between transformational leadership, employees’ proactive behaviors and employee innovation in the context of telecommuting during the post-pandemic era in China. The author surveyed telecommuters based in Chongqing and Sichuan of China and altogether received 160 useful responses. The result shows that transformational leadership has a significantly positive impact on employee innovation, and proactive behaviors of employees partially mediate the process. The study expands the context in which transformational leadership can prosper and suggest leaders or managers to incorporate the cultivation of subordinates’ proactivity in innovation strategies.
