为探讨远见型领导对中国研发团队中员工创造力的影响，以及员工知识共享和目标导向的作用，对中国公司62家高新技术企业研发部门的331名专业技术工程师进行了问卷调查。运用层次回归方法对远见型领导风格、员工目标取向、知识共享与员工创造力之间的关系进行了建模，结果表明，在中国组织中，远见型领导与员工创造力存在正相关关系，并且这种关系通过员工知识共享起到了正向中介作用。此外，员工“学习目标”取向强化了远见领导与员工知识共享之间的关系，而员工“绩效-回避目标”取向弱化了远见领导与员工知识共享之间的关系。本研究发现，与西方组织相反，在中国组织中，远见领导与员工创造力正相关，但这种影响取决于员工的目标定向和知识共享。
The purpose of this paper is to explore how visionary leadership influences employees’ creativity in R&D teams in China, and the role of employee knowledge sharing and goal orientation.,A survey was conducted on 331 professional technical engineers in R&D departments of 62 high-tech corporations in China. Hierarchical regression was used to model the relationships between visionary leadership style, employee goal orientations, knowledge sharing and employee creativity.,The results show that visionary leadership is positively associated with employee creativity in Chinese organizations and the relationship is positively mediated by employee knowledge sharing. Furthermore, employee “learning goal” orientation strengthens the relationship between visionary leadership and employee knowledge sharing, whereas employee “performance-avoid goal” orientation weakens the relationship between visionary leadership and employee knowledge sharing.,This study contributes to the literature on the effects of leadership on employee creativity by showing that, contrary to western organizations, where a less directive leadership style is generally recommended to enhance employee creativity, in Chinese organizations, visionary leadership is positively associated with employee creativity, but the effect is contingent on employees’ goal orientations and knowledge sharing.
