Transformational leadership theory is an essential topic in management research. This style of leadership requires a leader's ability to identify and observe the psychological needs and values of followers, as well as to stimulate work motivation. Transformational leadership is characterized by four groups of factors: individualized consideration, intellectual stimulation, inspirational motivation and charisma or idealized influence. The role of a transformational leader is motivational in nature. Within the theory of self-determination, the authors emphasize the importance of the basic psychological need for relatedness with others, the feeling of personal competence and autonomy in performing a given behavior. Recent research has shown that perceived transformational leadership contributes to meeting the basic psychological needs of employees. Satisfying each of these needs directly impacts positive outcomes and achievement of organizational goals. The most commonly reported positive outcomes include trust of employees in the organization, positive feedback from managers, belief in one’s own ability to contribute to the organization, recognizing opportunities for progress, feeling of security, job satisfaction and a high level of enthusiasm for work. Transformational leadership facilitates the adoption of common motivational principles in the organization, empowers managers and gains the support of followers in their efforts to build a strong and stable organizational culture.

The current research aims to investigate the effect of transformational leadership on entrepreneurial orientation in Jordanian commercial banks, and whether organizational learning capability mediates the effect of transformational leadership on entrepreneurial orientation. Adopting a quantitative research design, data were collected by means of a questionnaire-based survey of employees in Jordanian commercial banks. Based on 330 usable responses, the results revealed the significant effect of transformational leadership and two of its dimensions (inspirational motivation and intellectual stimulation) on entrepreneurial orientation. Two other dimensions (idealized influence and individualized consideration) did not contribute to entrepreneurial orientation. Additionally, the results showed that transformational leadership has a significant effect on organizational learning capability, and that organizational learning capability in turn affects entrepreneurial orientation. The findings confirm that organizational learning capability fully mediates the effect of transformational leadership on entrepreneurial orientation. A number of recommendations are advanced, the most important of which is that banks should improve and develop managers’ transformational attributes by training them on how to deal with employees in order to increase their entrepreneurial orientation. Banks should also consider improving their learning capability, as this plays a significant role in enhancing and supporting the effect of transformational leadership attributes on entrepreneurial orientation.
