以往关于授权领导力和员工创造力之间关系的研究结果喜忧参半，需要更多的研究来探索这种关系中的替代机制和边界条件。在本研究中，我们借鉴调节焦点理论和社会角色理论，提出授权领导力通过员工晋升焦点与员工创造力之间存在正向关系，并且这种关系在男性(相对于女性)领导和女性(相对于男性)员工之间更强。我们进行了一个多来源的调查研究和一个小场景实验来验证我们的理论模型。这两项研究的结果支持了我们的假设。我们的发现为有关增强领导力和创造力的研究和实践提供了启示。
Previous research on the relationship between empowering leadership and employee creativity has found mixed results, calling for more research to explore alternative mechanism and boundary conditions in this relationship. In this research, drawing on regulatory focus theory and social role theory, we propose that empowering leadership has a positive relationship with employee creativity through employee promotion focus and that this relationship is stronger for male (vs. female) leaders and for female (vs. male) employees. We conducted a multi‐source survey study and a vignette experiment to test our theoretical model. Results across these two studies supported our hypotheses. Our findings offer implications for research and practice regarding empowering leadership and creativity.
