Abstract: This study explores the effects of transformational leadership and adhocracy culture on innovative work behavior and employee performance. The research involved 286 employees from diverse disciplines, primarily in marketing communications and services, based in Ho Chi Minh City. Data analysis was performed using SPSS 26 and Smart PLS 4.0 software to assess the influence of adhocracy culture and on the five dimensions of transformational leadership on employee performance. The findings reveal that both adhocracy culture and transformational leadership positively impact employee performance. Furthermore, the study introduces a novel approach to predicting job effectiveness through innovative work behavior. The results provide valuable managerial insights for cultivating an adhocracy culture and promoting transformational leadership, which can enhance innovative work behavior, strengthen long-term organizational commitment, and improve overall employee performance.
Keywords: Employee Performance, Transformational Leadership, Innovative Work Behavior, Adhocracy Culture, Smart-Pls 4.0.
