Abstract

Integrating the reciprocity lens and the componential model of creative process, we develop novel theoretical insights regarding how and when empowering leadership promotes employee creativity. In a scenario-based experimental study of 198 participants (Study 1), we found that empowering leadership was positively related to employees' felt obligation for constructive change, especially for employees who had a high level of organizational identification. In a three-wave field survey study of 221 employees and their direct supervisors (Study 2), we found that organizational identification strengthened the positive effects of empowering leadership on employees' felt obligation for constructive change. Furthermore, employees' felt obligation for constructive change was positively associated with job crafting behavior, subsequently employee creativity. Our research generates valuable insights into how and when empowering leadership enhances employee creativity.

授权型领导如何促进员工的创造力？感受到的建设性变革义务与工作设计的顺序中介机制

结合互惠视角和创造性过程的成分模型，我们对授权领导如何以及何时促进员工创造力提出了新的理论见解。在198名参与者的情境实验研究(研究1)中，我们发现授权型领导与员工对建设性变革的义务感正相关，尤其是对组织认同水平较高的员工。在对221名员工及其直接主管的三波实地调查研究(研究2)中，我们发现组织认同强化了授权领导对员工建设性变革义务的积极影响。此外，员工对建设性变革的义务感与工作制作行为呈正相关，进而与员工创造力呈正相关。我们的研究对授权领导如何以及何时增强员工创造力产生了有价值的见解。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Vocational Behavior publishes original empirical and theoretical articles offering unique insights into the realms of career choice, career development, and work adjustment across the lifespan. These contributions are not only valuable for academic exploration but also find applications in counseling and career development programs across diverse sectors such as colleges, universities, business, industry, government, and the military. The primary focus of the journal centers on individual decision-making regarding work and careers, prioritizing investigations into personal career choices rather than organizational or employer-level variables. Example topics encompass a broad range, from initial career choices (e.g., choice of major, initial work or organization selection, organizational attraction) to the development of a career, work transitions, work-family management, and attitudes within the workplace (such as work commitment, multiple role management, and turnover).
