The present study was carried out to examine the role of transformational, transactional, and laissez-faire
leadership styles in predicting innovative work behavior among bank managers of Rawalpindi and Islamabad.
Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ; Bass & Avolio, 1990) and Innovative Work Behavior Scale
(Butt, 2006) were used for data collection. The sample of the current study comprised 100 bank managers
including men (n = 78) and women (n = 22) with age range from 30 to 55 years (M = 33.42, SD = 9.13).
Stepwise regression analysis was applied to see the effect of leadership styles on innovative work behavior.
Results showed that transformational and transactional leadership style positively predicted innovative work
behavior whereas laissez-faire leadership style negatively predicted it. t-test revealed women bank managers to
have more transformational leadership style and men to be more innovative. In case of bank sectors, public
banks had more transformation leadership style and private bank were more innovative. Findings of the study
are in line with the theoretical assumptions of transformational and laissez-faire leadership style but inconsistent
for transactional leadership style. Practical implications are discussed and suggestions for future research are
made.
