Abstract - This paper examines the effect of managerial transformational leadership on supply chain organizational learning and supply chain correlation. We also assessed the impact of uncertainty in the working environment on these relationships. By integrating multiple perspectives on organizational behavior related to learning and leadership, we developed a research model and evaluated it using survey data.
