This dataset, "Raw Data_Can Transformational Leadership Be Associated with Innovation among Hotel Employees? A Dual Examination of the Mediating Role of Psychological Empowerment and the Moderating Role of Perceived Organizational Support," was collected via the Sojump online survey platform (https://www.Sojump.com/) from hotel employees across multiple regions of China between September and November 2025. Using a probability-based random sampling method, a total of 500 valid responses were obtained to investigate the relationships among transformational leadership, psychological empowerment, perceived organizational support, and innovative work behavior. The dataset includes demographic variables (gender, age, and length of service) as well as key organizational and psychological constructs. Transformational leadership was examined as the core independent variable, innovative work behavior as the outcome variable, psychological empowerment as a mediating variable, and perceived organizational support as a moderating variable. The data provide empirical evidence for understanding how leadership behavior, employees’ psychological states, and organizational support jointly relate to innovation in the hotel industry, offering valuable references for hospitality management research and organizational innovation practices.
