Abstract: |
| In order to shed lights on what and how to promote radical and incremental creativity, this study intended to explore the effect of leader’s direct and indirect relational power on them. Multi-wave and multi-rater data were collected by questionnaires in a Chinese automobile corporation, which provided 297 usable responses for analysis. Findings are that a) leader’s relational power could facilitate both employee radical and incremental creativity; b) leader’s direct relational power is more strongly positively related to incremental creativity than to radical creativity; and c) employees’ creative self-efficacy could moderate the positive relationship between leader’s direct or indirect relational power and radical creativity. Contributions and practical implications were discussed in the end. |
