Abstract
This study aims to explore the enhancement of corporate innovation and performance by analyzing the internal and external corporate environments and their synergistic effects. It emphasizes the importance of human capital, with a spotlight on leaders as the primary shapers of the internal corporate environment. Drawing from existing literature, a theoretical framework is established to investigate the effects of transformational leadership on organizational innovation outcomes. Through the creation of scales and questionnaires, a survey was conducted at Beijing T Company, and the data was empirically analyzed using regression techniques. The findings indicate that transformational leadership plays a significant role in boosting organizational innovation performance, which is partly influenced by education background. The research integrates literature review with statistical analysis to uncover the mechanisms and patterns of influence that transformational leadership has on organizational innovation, providing a theoretical foundation that can be applied to other organizational contexts.
