1 INTRODUCTION 1. Research background The business environment has been rapidly changing (Crossan & Apaydin, 2010; Le & Lei, 2019). According to Austin (2015), the banking sector has faced challenges posed by global economic and financial crisis as well as the burdens of increasing operating costs and the deficit of profit margins. Therefore, innovation has become a prerequisite for banks worldwide as well as Vietnamese commercial banks to cope with challenges, adapt to dynamic contexts, and achieve sustainable development. However, organizational structure characteristics in Vietnamese commercial banks, such as hierarchical structures, high formality, high compliance, high power distance, and a focus on excellence orientation, high performance, cost reduction, etc., become barriers to innovation (Jung et al., 2008). These barriers limit Vietnamese commercial banks from becoming dynamic organizations in the process of change, hinder the process of thinking, proposing, experimenting, and implementing innovations. Therefore, research on innovation and factors influencing its outcomes, especially in Vietnamese commercial banks, has become a focal and urgent topic, attracting the attention of many scholars (Crossan & Apaydin, 2010; Le et al., 2018; Le & Lei, 2019). However, researches on this topic have not been aligned with this industry practices. Researches on innovation have often been interdisciplinary or focused on areas, specialties, and departments assumed to ne associated with innovation - creativity, for example, research and development (R&D) departments (Abbas & Raja, 2015), information technology, or marketing departments,... Innovation and affecting factors in Vietnamese commercial banks have not received adequate attention. The macro and micro business environment presents an urgent need, both theoretically and practically, to investigate on innovation at Vietnamese commercial banks.
2 Leadership styles have been demonstrated to have significant impacts on the innovation process within organizations (Scott & Bruce, 1994; Tierney et al., 1999). Among them, transformational leadership (TL), over the past four decades, has been described as an ideal leadership style that motivates employees, stimulates intellect, transforms subordinates beyond personal needs to pursue the mission and common goals of the organization (Bass, 1996). The dissertation focuses on elucidating, analyzing, systematizing, and evaluating the relationship between TL - the most focused and researched leadership model (Hu et al., 2013), and innovation, especially in the context of Vietnamese commercial banks. Moreover, the dissertation concentrates on clarifying the simultaneous impact of TL on innovation comprehensively at all three levels within the organization: individual innovation, team innovation, organizational innovation - these are the most popular categorizing methodology in researches (Crossan & Apaydin, 2010). However, among researches on the impact of TL on innovation at different levels within organizations, scholars' conclusions have not shown consistency. The majority of studies conclude that TL positively impacts innovation within organizations (Gong et al., 2009; Jung et al., 2003; Hu et al., 2013). In addition, some scholars conclude that TL has negative (Basu & Green, 2009), nonlinear (Eisenbeiss & Boerner, 2010) impacts on innovation, or even conclude that this relationship is not statistically significant (Wang & Rode, 2010). The lack of consensus in conclusions about the impact of TL on innovation at different levels within organizations emphasizes the necessity to explore the moderating role of a situational factor leading to this variation. House (1971), Hersey & Blanchard (1974) affirm that employee characteristics are the environmental factors that may adjust, encourage, or reduce the impact of leadership behavior on the desired outcomes of the organization, including innovation. Inheriting that viewpoint, in this dissertation the author studies the
