By incorporating the concepts of resource gain and resource loss from Conservation of Resources Theory, we anticipated that the combination of two variables—psychological contract and psychological safety—would moderate the relationship between participative leadership and innovative work behaviors. Data were collected from 237 participants over two time points, with a three-month interval, to examine the time-lag effect of participative leadership on innovative work behaviors. Structural equation modeling was used for statistical analysis. The results indicated that a supervisor's participative leadership positively influences the innovative work behavior of subordinates. However, this positive effect occurs only within the group of individuals who possess a high level of perception regarding both their psychological contract and psychological safety. Participative leadership did not have a significant impact on groups where either one of these factors, or both, was low. The findings suggest that individuals' innovative work behaviors should be reconceptualized as strategies for managing personal resources, influenced by the interaction of multiple factors related to resource gain and resource loss.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47923,"journal":{"name":"Creativity and Innovation Management","volume":"35 3","pages":"612-626"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2026-08-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148667284","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing on organizational creativity and institutional theories, we aim to explore whether creativity can be nurtured outside firms' boundaries within the network of industry professionals and influenced by institutional factors. Adopting an inductive theory-building approach, we conduct a qualitative case study of Finnish digital firms in the digital cultural sectors to achieve the objective of the study. Our findings reveal that socio-cultural and regulatory forces such as startup funding, promotion of interaction within the industry ecosystem, and support for international expansion of Finnish firms nurture collective and collaborative creativity and country-of-origin perceptions among industry professionals by enabling their interaction, open knowledge sharing, and free flow of ideas. These processes enhance the creative capabilities of individuals in the industry, which drives them to develop innovative products within their own firms for international markets.

However, explorations of its relationship with creativity have elicited contrasting results that remain unresolved, and the underlying processes of this relationship remain unclear. In the present research, we examine whether and how conceptual and experimental creative problem-solving methods function as mechanisms linking mindfulness and creativity. We test our theoretical model in three studies: two survey-based studies (the first with online crowd-workers, the second with employees from Italian and Croatian small- and medium-sized enterprises) and an experiment conducted at a Slovenian university. The results indicate that conceptual creative methods mediate the positive relationship between mindfulness and creativity, such that higher mindfulness leads to greater use of conceptual methods, which in turn enhances creativity. Experimental creative methods do not mediate this relationship, indicating that mindfulness does not enhance creativity through increased use of experimental methods.
