Abstract

Purpose Enterprise innovation depends on the innovative behaviour of employees. The relationship between leaders and employees has a significant impact on employees' attitudes and behaviours. Therefore, it is of great practical significance to explore how a good leader–member relationship (LMR) motivates employees' innovative behaviour. Design/methodology/approach Based on 316 questionnaires completed by the members of 53 organisations, SPSS 25.0, Mplus 8.0 and HLM 6.08 were used to analyse the internal mechanisms of LMRs and employees' innovative behaviour. Findings The study identified the following findings: first, LMR was positively correlated with employees' innovative behaviour; second, perceived supervisor support and followership behaviour played mediating roles between leader–member relationship and employees' innovative behaviour and third, organisational political climate was negatively correlated with employees' innovative behaviour and played a moderating role in the relationship between LMR and employees' innovative behaviour. Originality/value The results of this study have clarified the transmission mechanism between LMRs and employees' innovative behaviour while providing useful references for improving the effectiveness of human resource management in organisations.

良好的领导与成员关系如何激励员工的创新行为?

企业创新依赖于员工的创新行为。领导与员工的关系对员工的态度和行为有显著的影响。因此，探讨良好的领导-成员关系如何激励员工的创新行为具有重要的现实意义。基于53家组织成员完成的316份问卷，运用SPSS 25.0、Mplus 8.0和HLM 6.08分析了LMRs与员工创新行为的内在机制。研究发现:第一，LMR与员工创新行为呈正相关;第二，感知上司支持和下属行为在领导-成员关系与员工创新行为之间起中介作用;第三，组织政治气候与员工创新行为呈负相关，并在LMR与员工创新行为之间起调节作用。本研究的结果澄清了lmr与员工创新行为之间的传导机制，为提高组织人力资源管理的有效性提供了有益的参考。
