| This study was conducted to examine and analyze the findings of previous studies on the effect of transformational leadership of school principals on teachers' teaching creativity. The main research problem stems from the growing importance of creativity in the education system and the key role of teachers in enhancing learning quality, while considerable variation is observed in the extent to which educational creativity emerges across different schools. In this regard, the question arises as to how and through what mechanisms transformational leadership of school principals can influence teachers' teaching creativity. The research method is a systematic and analytical review, conducted by examining and analyzing related domestic and foreign studies published between 2010 and 2025, using reputable scientific databases. The findings showed that transformational leadership has a positive and significant effect on teachers' creativity; however, this effect is not direct and is influenced by mediating factors such as self-efficacy, job satisfaction, professional motivation, and organizational commitment. The results also indicated that school climate and organizational culture play an important role in strengthening or weakening this relationship. The innovation of this research lies in providing an analytical synthesis of the dispersed results of previous studies and in explaining the role of psychological and organizational mechanisms in the influence of transformational leadership on teachers' teaching creativity. |
