Different studies on management innovation ,such as managerial activities, structures or practices, find it can be a source of competitive advantage. The current article is a review of management innovation at the organization level and examines the role of women leaders as a key antecedent. Due to its important role within organizations, women transformational and transactional leaders have a positive impact on management innovation. To be more precise, we focus on women leaders and examine transformational and transactional leadership. Additionally, as contextual variables such as level of education of the women leaders, may influence the effect of both styles of leadership, and management innovation,we examine its moderating role.Findings reveal that transformational and transactional women leaders contribute to management innovation.
