Data were analysed using four core statistical techniques, i.e., descriptive statistics, convergent validity test, discriminate analysis, and structural equation modelling. First, the results showed a positive effect between EL and OI. Second, the findings unveiled the positive association between EL and OI through mediating influence of IC. This study contributes to the leaderships' literature by highlighting the significance of entrepreneurial leadership performance mechanism for organisational innovation.
