The Effect of Authentic Leadership on Leader Creativity: The Mediating Role of Creative Process Engagement

Abstract:

Synthesizing theories of leadership, activity engagement theory, and creativity, this research built and tested a theoretical model linking authentic leadership with leader creativity and the mediating effect of leader’s creative process engagement. Using survey data from 400 executives of start-up companies in China, we found that, as anticipated, authentic leadership positively affected leader creativity. Furthermore, the results indicated the partial mediating role of creative process engagement, thereby shed light on the mechanism by which authentic leadership impact leader creativity. These results yielded important implications regarding how to improve managers’ creative performance at work.
