Abstract: This study analyzes the influences of transformational leadership on organizational performance through the dynamic capabilities of organizational learning and innovation. Although these indirect interrelations are very important for improving organizational performance, previous research has not usually explored them. The study confirms these influences empirically, basing the analysis on a sample of 168 Spanish firms. The results reveal that (1) transformational leadership influences organizational performance positively through organizational learning and innovation; (2) organizational learning influences organizational performance positively, both directly and indirectly through organizational innovation; (3) organizational innovation influences organizational performance positively.
