There is a consensus that leadership has a powerful multi-level influence on learning and innovation. Yet, the literature has not adequately addressed this issue. Recent evidence of the influence of knowledge leadership on innovation only applies to a limited and simple conceptualization of the construct. Drawing from organizational learning theory, we contribute by conceptualizing and operationalizing a four-dimensional model of knowledge leadership behaviors. We empirically verify the dimensions using confirmatory factor analysis. We test and find support for the relationship between unit-level knowledge leadership and organizational innovation mediated by unit-level knowledge sharing. We discuss contributions, findings, limitations, and future research directions.

领导力对学习和创新的影响：来自印度的证据

人们一致认为，领导力对学习和创新具有强大的多层次影响。然而，文献并没有充分解决这个问题。知识领导力对创新的影响的最新证据仅适用于有限且简单的结构概念化。借鉴组织学习理论，我们通过将知识领导行为的四维模型概念化和操作化来做出贡献。我们使用验证性因素分析对维度进行了实证验证。我们测试并找到了支持单位级知识领导与由单位级知识共享介导的组织创新之间的关系。我们讨论了贡献、发现、局限性和未来的研究方向。
