谦卑型领导风格对创新压力—员工创造力曲线关系的调节作用

Humble Leadership as a Moderator in the Curvilinear Relationship between Creative Time Pressure and Employee Creativity

摘要:

本研究检验了创新时间压力和员工创造力之间非线性关系，并着重探讨了谦卑型领导对该非线性关系所起到的调节作用。通过对379份“领导—员工”配对数据进行实证分析，结果表明：创新时间压力与员工创造力呈倒U型关系；谦卑型领导对创新时间压力与员工创造力间的倒U型关系具有显著调节作用。领导越谦卑，创新时间压力与员工创造力的倒U型关系越明显。

Abstract:

We investigated the curvilinear relationship between the creative time pressure and employee creativity, and we focused on the moderate role of humble leadership for this curvilinear relationship. With 379 “supervisor-employee” dyad samples, we found that there exists a significant inverted U-shaped relationship between creative time pressure and employee creativity, and this relationship is moderated by humble leadership. Specifically, the U-shaped relationship creative time pressure and employee creativity is increasingly manifested as the leader is more humble.
