In the paper an analysis of the influence of different leadership styles on the relationship between R&D-related resources and product innovation is presented. The results of the analysis show that leadership styles have a significant impact on the relationship between R&D-related human capital as well as R&D-related relational capital and product innovation. In particularly, transactional leadership negatively moderates the positive relationship between R&D-related human capital as well as R&D-related relational capital and product innovation, while transformational leadership positively moderates established relationship between them. The interaction terms between R&D-related financial capital and both transactional and transformational leadership are not significant. The study of a sample of 219 Polish companies from Silesia Region (with at least 20 full time employees) contributes to the emerging literature on innovation by providing a moderated model and by integration of innovation and leadership aspects.

W artykule przedstawiono wyniki badań empirycznych (przeprowadzonych na próbie 219 organizacji z województwa śląskiego) obejmujących analizę roli przywództwa w stymulowaniu innowacji produktowych, w kontekście posiadania przez badane organizacje trzech rodzajów zasobów badawczych (kapitału finansowego, kapitału ludzkiego oraz kapitału relacyjnego). Wyniki badań empirycznych wskazują, że efektywne przywództwo transformacyjne jest czynnikiem krytycznym, pozytywnie moderującym relację pomiędzy posiadanymi w organizacji zasobami badawczymi a generowaniem i wdrażaniem innowacji produktowych (w kontekście kapitału ludzkiego oraz kapitału relacyjnego). W artykule zaprezentowano również metodykę przeprowadzonych badań, jak również omówiono narzędzia wykorzystane w procesie badawczym.
