In the contemporary business environment, where rapid technological advancements, continuous flow of information, and pervasive globalization shape the fundamental premises, organizations are faced with the challenge of remaining competitive in a market that has never been more dynamic. In such a context, a key factor for the survival and prosperity of an organization lies in its ability to generate innovations. One of the key elements that foster innovation within an organization is transformational leadership. Transformational leadership denotes a style of leadership in which leaders actively change the behavior of their collaborators, encouraging them to focus on the organization's goals and to provide contributions beyond expectations. Through this approach, leaders create an atmosphere that fosters creativity and innovation among employees. In light of these findings, research is often directed towards studying the connection between transformational leadership and innovative work behavior of employees. Analyzing these factors in a real business context provides insight into how specific leadership characteristics influence employee innovation. In the empirical part of the paper, the relationship between these two concepts is explored, and the sample included 61 employees. The employees completed a survey questionnaire, with the first part focused on evaluating the leadership styles of their superiors, and the second part based on self-assessment of innovative work behavior. Based on the results obtained from the research, a connection between transformational leadership and employees' innovative work behavior can be determined.
