Abstract: |
| we anticipate that subjective ambivalence serves as a mechanism reflecting how paradoxical leadership behavior affect employee creativity. We further expect that holistic thinking moderates these relationships. We utilize a sample of 1147 members from 177 work teams in Beijing. The HLM results show that (1) holistic thinking negatively moderates the relationship between paradoxical leadership behavior and subjective ambivalence, (2) holistic thinking negatively moderates the relationship between subjective ambivalence and creativity, (3) the indirect effect of paradoxical leadership behavior on employee creativity is negative unexpectedly, which is stronger when people in low holistic thinking, yielding a pattern of dual-stage moderated mediation. |
