There’s no significant difference in their awareness as to principals’ transformational leadership, organizational learning and innovation with respect to different educational backgrounds. 11. Teachers with teaching experience of more than 25 years have higher levels of awareness towards principals’ transformative leadership, organizational learning and innovation in the schools. 12. Schools’ history doesn’t play a major role in influencing the principals’ transformative leadership, organizational learning and innovation at schools. 13. The schools with fewer than 12 classes seem to perform better in principals’ transformative leadership, organizational learning and innovation at schools. 14. As to principals’ transformative leadership and organizational learning, the schools which are located in countryside and towns mostly perform at a normal standard whereas in organizational innovation they do as good as those city schools. 15. The principals’ transformative leadership works through organizational learning and ultimately has great impact on schools’ organizational innovation. The results gained from this study can be the useful information for educational administrators, school principals and schools when implementing principals’ transformative leadership, organizational learning and innovations at schools.
