Research on the Promotion Mechanism of Strengths-Based Leadership to Employees'Creativity
In order to effectively deal with the high uncertainty and complexity of the business environ-ment,many organizations are committed to stimulating employees'creativity,actively guiding employ-ees to generate and implement novel and useful ideas,in order to maintain the organization's core com-petitiveness and innovation ability.Does strengths-based leadership promote creativity by helping em-ployees identify,utilize,and expand their strengths?Based on the job demand-resource model and 390 data collected at three time points,this study explored the promotion mechanism of strengths-based leadership on employee creativity,and empirically tested the research hypothesis with hierarchical re-gression analysis and other methods.The results show that strengths-based leadership positively affects employees'creativity;Work engagement plays a mediating role between dominant leadership and em-ployee creativity.Self-efficacy positively moderates the relationship between strengths-based leadership and work engagement,and also positively moderates the indirect effect of strengths-based leadership on employees'creativity through work engagement.
