Improving Learning Organizations Through Transformational Leadership and Intellectual Capital

Putri Octavianti, Budhi Cahyono

Abstract


This study aims to analyze efforts to enhance Organizational Learning through Transformational Leadership and Intellectual Capital. The population in this research includes all human resources (HR) within the Traffic Directorate (Ditlantas) of the Riau Islands Regional Police, totaling 162 personnel. Due to the limited population size, the study employed a census method, in which the entire population was used as the sample. Data were collected through a closed-ended questionnaire using a 5-point Likert scale ranging from "Strongly Disagree" to "Strongly Agree." Data analysis was conducted using the Partial Least Squares (PLS) approach. The results of the study show that: (1) Transformational Leadership has a positive and significant effect on Intellectual Capital, indicating that stronger transformational leadership leads to better intellectual capital; (2) Transformational Leadership also has a positive and significant effect on Organizational Learning, suggesting that an inspiring and visionary leadership style enhances organizational learning processes; and (3) Intellectual Capital has a positive and significant effect on Organizational Learning, meaning that higher levels of knowledge, skills, and structured systems within the organization contribute to stronger learning capabilities.
