        Transformational leadership, workplace spirituality and employee creativity are important issues in organizational management. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of transformational leadership on employee creativity with the mediating role of workplace spirituality. The present applied study was a descriptive-correlational one, conducted with a sample of 135 prevention police managers of Qom Disciplinary Command. Stratified simple random sampling method was used to select the sample. To collect the data, three standard questionnaires, including Bass et al. (2003), Torrance (1963) and Milliman et al. (2003) and to analyze the collected data, correlation coefficient tests, confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling were employed. The reliability of the instruments was checked using Cronbach's alpha and the validity of all components of the questionnaire was verified first through the formal method and then the confirmatory factor analysis. The findings showed that transformational leadership, has a positive direct effect on workplace spirituality (0.61) and on employee creativity (0.73) at a significant level of 0.001. Also, it was found that transformational leadership through workplace spirituality has an indirect significant effect (0.49) on employee creativity. Additionally, the results indicated that transformational leadership through workplace spirituality explains 0.31 of the changes in employee creativity at a significant level of 0.05 and therefore the application of transformational leadership style for the police managers of Qom Disciplinary Command is suggested to promote workplace spirituality and employee creativity.
