“…More particularly, the case-study subordinates tend to be innovative and self-renewing if they are intellectually stimulated by their leaders who seem to be transformational. This finding ties with prior works (Sharmaa et al , 2012; Bass, 1999) which highlighted that transformational leaders challenge subordinates thoughts, imaginations and mindset in order to trigger their sense of creativity and innovation. Workers in Tunisian SMEs, by contrast, do not have the ability neither to be proactive nor to launch a new business inside their companies even if their leaders are intellectually stimulating.…”

“…In accordance with the world economic evolutions and the fluctuating business environment based on rapid technological changes and globalization (Sharmaa et al , 2012), firms have become compelled to bring internal transformation (Beh and Shafique, 2016) to enhance their performance and competitiveness. In Tunisia, a nation characterized by the domination of the small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), incentive governmental policies, since 2008, have been obviously directed toward the establishment of free trade areas in manufactured goods (Gherib and Berger-Douce, 2012).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate whether transformational leadership matters in promoting corporate entrepreneurship in Tunisian small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). It has been argued that transformational leadership is a multidimensional construct which is composed of intellectual stimulation, idealized influence, inspirational motivation and individual consideration. Corporate entrepreneurship is also a multidimensional construct composed of new business venturing, innovativeness, self-renewal and proactiveness. Hence, it has been hypothesized that transformational leadership positively and directly influences corporate entrepreneurship. Design/methodology/approach A hypothetico-deductive and quantitative approach was adopted to test the suggested research model. A 2 × 2 survey was conducted on a random sample of a set of Tunisian SMEs’ workers. Data analysis was performed using the structural equation modeling. Findings The results highlight the relatively relevance of transformational leadership’s components in triggering the corporate entrepreneurship’s patterns. Originality/value The author reports on the importance of transformational leadership in the corporate entrepreneurship development in the Tunisian business context. The paper should be of interest to readers in the areas of management and entrepreneurship. This work seems to be relevant to the extent that few works have highlighted the association between the components of both transformational leadership and corporate entrepreneurship. The findings seem interesting insofar as they show mainly the important effect of the intellectual stimulation and the inspirational motivation, triggered by transformational leaders, on workers’ innovativeness, proactiveness and new business venturing.

“…Through intellectual stimulation, TLs encourage followers to challenge the status quo and to solve problems by trying out new approaches. Furthermore, they appreciate followers" ideas even if they are different from the traditional way of thinking (Sharma et al, 2012;Çekmecelioğlu & Özbağ, 2016). They frequently emphasize the value of novel ideas and thus followers feel comfortable in proposing new alternatives or even taking risks (Shin & Zhou 2003;Çekmecelioğlu & Özbağ, 2016).…”

The aim of this study is to analyze the relationship between transformational leadership and psychological empowerment in a sample of 270 respondents. Four dimensions of transformational leadership have been proposed as an instrument to enhance individuals' perception of psychological empowerment. The findings confirm a positive link among idealized influence, intellectual stimulation and psychological empowerment. By linking each dimension of transformational leadership to four dimensions of psychological empowerment, the study draws paths from leadership behaviour to employee empowerment and thus the current findings provide valuable insights both for leadership and empowerment literature.

“…Idealized Influence is a transformational leadership dimension that refers to leaders who encouraged followers to share their aims, targets, visions and goals (Sharma et al, 2012). "Idealized influence can be defined as the key element of transformational leadership that lets leaders be the behavior and role models for employee in following values and believes" (Allameh & Davoodi, 2011: 3132).…”

“…-Intellectual Stimulation has an important role in the transformation process of the organization (Jacob, 2015).
