The objectives of this study are: 1. To determine the components and indicators of the transformational leadership, team innovation performance, organizational innovation climate and knowledge sharing in Interdisciplinary teams from universities in Anhui Province. 2. To propose the Structural Equation Modeling the mediating effect of knowledge sharing and organizational innovation climate on the relationship between transformational leadership and team innovation performance of interdisciplinary teams in universities of Anhui province.

Quantitative research methods are utilized. The study surveyed 462 faculty members from eight universities in Anhui Province who teach interdisciplinary majors and engage in research. The sample size was determined using a statistical program and obtained through proportional stratified sampling method, resulting in a total of 360 participants. Data was collected using a five-point scale questionnaire. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) were the statistical methods used for data analysis.

The findings of the study revealed that 1. organizational innovation climate and knowledge sharing play a mediating effect between transformational leadership and team innovation performance, and the agreement between the model and empirical data is statistically significant at P < 0.01, and the values of the complete model are P < 0.01: Chi-square = 74.29, df = 59, GFI = 0.97, AGFI = 0.96, TLI = 0.99, the CFI = 0.99, and SRMR = 0.03; 2. Transformational leadership has a direct and significant effect on team innovation performance, organizational innovation climate, and knowledge sharing, Organizational innovation climate and knowledge sharing act as mediating variables and play a partial mediating role in the relationship between transformational leadership and team innovation performance.
