Abstract In the era of a knowledge-based economy, leaders should have good and appropriate leadership skills and style in order to create high performance and productivity for the managed organization. This study explores the influence of the participation of adventure education by enterprises or organizational members on their transformational leadership, in order to find the relationship between the adventure education activities and transformational leadership. In the past, the transformational leadership was used to evaluate the style of a person’s leadership. The participation of adventure education activities can help to enhance self-transformational leadership such as motivating employees’ self-actualization needs, raise employees’ spontaneous awareness and confidence for the business’s reference in employees’ team communication, teamwork, team problem-solving, team strategies, and the team agrees with the organization’s goal and recognize the future development of the team and employees. Therefore, this study treated the managers and employees of small and medium size enterprises in the training courses as the subjects, and collected 174 valid samples. The data collected from the questionnaire were analyzed by quantitative statistics. This study used the adventure education and self-transformational leadership as the key effect model to verify their relationship. The findings are as follows: 1) the adventure education and the effect of self-transformational leadership are significantly correlated; 2) the demographic variables have partial significant difference from the effect of self-transformational leadership. The above findings can be provided to business managers, human resources, and future researchers as a reference. Keywords: adventure education, transformational leadership
