          In recent years, there has been an increased focus on innovation in the banking sector, driven by the rise of fintech and changing customer demands. The bank sector has more competitions which affect the relationship among organizational commitment, intention to leave the bank employees, and the innovation capability of the firm, respectively. Moreover, the role of leadership in shaping those relationships requires further study because both innovation and leadership are crucial in contributing to competitiveness and organizational performance. The purpose of this research is to study the moderation effect of transformational leadership on the relationship between organizational commitment and innovation capabilities, as well as the relationship between intention to leave and innovation capabilities. This research is a quantitative study that collected data by way of using a questionnaire from 238 bank employees in Nakhon Phanom Province, Thailand. The results of the study found that transformational leadership has a positive influence on the positive relationship between organizational commitment and innovation capabilities. However, transformational leadership has a negative influence on the negative relationship between the intention to leave and innovation capabilities. The study finds that transformational leadership can help to mitigate the negative effects of the intention to leave a group on innovation capability by fostering a culture of innovation, building trust and commitment, and emphasizing the importance of long-term goals and visions. While, transformational leadership can increase employee commitment to the organization and translate into improved innovation capabilities for the firm.
