    Abstract

    This study aims to investigate the influence of transformational leadership style (TL) on organisational performance (OP) depending on both the organisational learning (OL) and intellectual capital (IC) in the public healthcare sector in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). To accomplish this, a questionnaire survey was used to gather individual-level quantitative data from 189 employees within 10 hospitals located in the United Arab Emirates. The survey data were analysed with the use of structural equation modelling to test for relationships among the main constructs of the conceptual framework of the study, and results demonstrated that transformational leadership has a significant positive effect on organisational performance, and this relationship was moderated by both organisational learning and intellectual capital. Furthermore, the study demonstrated a significant positive relationship among organisational learning, intellectual capital and organisational performance.
