Abstract

Drawing upon the cognitive evaluation theory, this study examined the relationship among the three dimensions of paternalistic leadership, namely, authoritarianism, benevolence, and morality on both employee creativity and intention to stay. Data from 344 subordinates and 132 leaders/supervisors were collected from 32 SMEs in the manufacturing industry of Ghana. The findings of the study revealed that while authoritarian leadership has a negative relationship with creativity, benevolent leadership impacts positively on both creativity and intention to stay. No significant relationship was recorded between moral leadership and creativity, as well as authoritarian leadership and intention to stay. Moreover, psychological empowerment was found to mediate the relationship among benevolent leadership, creativity, and intention to stay, as well as between moral leadership and intention to stay. The study provides a fresh practical and theoretical perspective on the underlying mechanism pertaining to the relationship among paternalistic leadership, creativity, and intention to stay.

家长式领导、员工创造力和保留力：心理赋权的作用

本研究运用认知评价理论，考察了家长式领导的威权主义、仁慈和道德三个维度对员工创造力和留任意愿的影响。本研究收集了来自加纳32家制造业中小企业的344名下属和132名领导/主管的数据。研究结果显示，虽然专制领导与创造力呈负相关，但仁慈领导对创造力和留任意愿都有积极影响。道德领导与创造力、专制领导与留下来的意愿之间没有显著的关系。此外，我们还发现心理授权在仁慈领导、创造力和留任意愿之间以及道德领导和留任意愿之间起到中介作用。本研究对家长式领导、创造力和留守意愿之间的关系机制提供了新的理论和实践视角。
