Abstract

Purpose: The main objective of this research is to determine if the number of days teleworked gradually influences the causal relationship between Ethical Leadership and Creativity among university-educated employees together with the aspect of their interaction. Design/methodology: To decipher this question, a simple moderation scheme is chosen. The sample is 448 workers who are evaluated online. Findings: Ethical Leadership and Creativity are related in a convex way; that is, the ethical extremes, low or high, negatively, or positively influence creative performance, in that order. In addition, the intensity of Teleworking favors the integration between Ethical Leadership and original ideas; On the other hand, when remote work is reduced to one day a week, the relationship between Ethical Leadership and Creativity is neutralized. Finally, the self-perception of Creativity is lower in the female gender. Research limitations/implications: It is a cross-sectional study, but the results can be transferred to the entire Colombian energy industry since the sample was taken at different stages and obtained from various sources. Future research can delve into the e-ethics role of ethical leadership. Practical implications: The transition from conventional to electronic leadership needs to be influenced by strong ethical values to avoid leadership styles such as intrusive or abusive leadership that do not consider employee welfare as a priority. In addition, hybrid work alternatives that combine remote days with on-site days make it essential to consider that very low-intensity Teleworking substantially reduces individual Creativity. Social implications: The public energy industries in underdeveloped countries whose main mission is to serve the neediest social spheres cannot take their eyes off the common interest. When this happens, corruption proliferates, and inequalities widen. Originality/

大学学历员工的道德领导与创造力:高强度远程办公的调节作用

目的:本研究的主要目的是确定远程工作天数是否逐渐影响大学学历员工伦理领导与创造力之间的因果关系，以及两者之间的相互作用。设计/方法:为了解释这个问题，我们选择了一个简单的调节方案。样本是448名接受在线评估的员工。研究发现:伦理型领导与创造力呈凸形相关;也就是说，道德的极端，低或高，消极或积极地影响创造性表现，按此顺序。此外，远程工作的强度有利于伦理领导与原创思想的融合;另一方面，当远程工作减少到每周一天时，道德领导和创造力之间的关系就被抵消了。最后，女性对创造力的自我知觉较低。研究局限性/影响:这是一项横断面研究，但由于样本是在不同阶段取自不同来源，因此结果可以转移到整个哥伦比亚能源行业。未来的研究可以深入探讨伦理型领导在电子伦理中的作用。实际意义:从传统领导向电子领导的转变需要受到强烈的道德价值观的影响，以避免领导风格，如不把员工福利作为优先考虑的侵入性或滥用性领导。此外，将远程工作与现场工作结合起来的混合工作选择，使我们必须考虑到，非常低强度的远程工作大大降低了个人的创造力。社会影响:欠发达国家的公共能源行业的主要任务是为最需要的社会领域服务，他们不能离开共同利益。当这种情况发生时，腐败就会蔓延，不平等也会扩大。创意/

期刊介绍： The aim of Intangible Capital is to publish theoretical and empirical articles that contribute to contrast, extend and build theories that contribute to advance our understanding of phenomena related with management, and the management of intangibles, in organizations, from the perspectives of strategic management, human resource management, psychology, education, IT, supply chain management and accounting. The scientific research in management is grounded on theories developed from perspectives taken from a diversity of social sciences. Intangible Capital is open to publish articles that, from sociology, psychology, economics and industrial organization contribute to the scientific development of management and organizational science. Intangible Capital publishes scholar articles that contribute to contrast existing theories, or to build new theoretical approaches. The contributions can adopt confirmatory (quantitative) or explanatory (mainly qualitative) methodological approaches. Theoretical essays that enhance the building or extension of theoretical approaches are also welcome. Intangible Capital selects the articles to be published with a double bind, peer review system, following the practices of good scholarly journals. Intangible Capital publishes three regular issues per year following an open access policy. On-line publication allows to reduce publishing costs, and to make more agile the process of reviewing and edition. Intangible Capital defends that open access publishing fosters the advance of scientific knowledge, making it available to everyone. Intangible Capital publishes articles in English, Spanish and Catalan.
