Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to investigate the forces driving organizational innovation, particularly CEO transformational leadership as it affects external and internal social capital in top management teams.Design/methodology/approach - Survey questionnaires were administered to 90 Chinese top management teams. Structural equation modeling was used to test the hypothesized relationships.Findings - Both internal and external social capital mediated the relationship between transformational leadership and organizational innovation.Practical implications - Organizations should strengthen internal and external capital of top management teams to reap maximal innovation outcomes from transformational leadership.Originality/value - The findings contribute to the transformational leadership, social capital, and innovation literature first by showing how leadership influences innovation through largely neglected mechanisms - internal and external social capital. Second, a social capital focus challenges the tacit assumption that transformational leadership has only internal influences by showing that it potentially spills over to the external domain.
