The study focuses on the nature of the transformational leadership styles and
also the relationship between transformational leadership and innovative work
behaviour of branch managers of the public and private-sector banks of Kolkata.
Data was collected from 120 male branch managers of Kolkata (60 from publicsector banks and 60 from private-sector banks), using the General Information
Schedule, Transformational Leadership Questionnaire and Innovative Work
Behaviour Scale. Responses to these tools were processed for t-test, ANOVA
and correlational analysis. The results show that branch managers of the public
and private-sector banks reveal uniform patterns of moderately high
transformational leadership. Irrespective of the type of bank, the innovative work
behaviour of the branch managers vary in terms of their levels of transformational
leadership. Also, the two dimensions are positively correlated. Idea promotion,
a dimension of Innovative Work Behaviour, is facilitated more by the publicsector work setting than by the private-sector setting.
