Abstract : This study looks at how transformational leadership (TL) affects innovation and sustainability in the oil and gas business in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Specifically, the research focuses on the UAE. In view of the industry's historical carbon footprint and the increasing focus on sustainability at the international level, the research explores whether or not TL approaches may successfully minimise barriers to sustainable growth. The research also investigates the possibility that innovation might assist in bridging the gap between TL and sustainability. The research makes use of a survey questionnaire based on the Likert scale, and it collects data by employing a positivist theoretical framework and a deductive procedure. The use of regression analysis to test three hypotheses reveals a significant and positive link between TL and innovation as well as sustainability. The first research finding is that innovation in the UAE oil and gas industry does not significantly mediate the impact of TL on sustainability. The findings of this research are valuable for the management decision of the O&G industry and other industries that are interested in the establishment of a creative and sustainable culture and may serve as a reference model for other organisations that seek to implement TL for similar purposes.

Keywords : Tranformational leadership; Sustainability; Zero Flaring; Inovation; Waste Management; Mediation; Leadership Style.
