Abstract
This study examines the effects of transformational leadership on hotel employees for some aspects such as innovation climate, creativity, creative self-efficacy and satisfaction. Direct guest-contact employees of thirty-eight, 5-star hotels in Egypt and their immediate supervisors were targeted. A total of (500) employees and (150) supervisors provided the collected data. The findings indicated that transformational leadership is experienced in Egyptian hotels; in addition, it helps fostering a climate for innovation and promotes employee's creativity and satisfaction. An insignificant relationship was found between transformational leadership and employee's creative self-efficacy. Some practical implication is delivered such as the crucial need for hotel leaders to take a sound understanding of appropriate strategy for promoting employee's creative self-efficacy.
