Abstract: According to the emotional events theory, situational forces theory and related literature, and based on the paired survey data of 101 supervisors and 378 employees, the cross-level analysis method was used to explore the passing mechanism between work-family balance and innovation performance of female knowledge workers and to analyze the moderating role of transformational leadership. The results showed that female knowledge workers′ work-family balance has a significant positive impact on innovation performance. Job well-being plays a mediating role between work-family balance and innovation performance of female knowledge workers. Transformational leadership moderates the mediating role of job well-being from work-family balance to innovation performance of female knowledge workers.

Key words: work-family balance, job well-being, innovation performance, female knowledge worker, transformational leadership
