This study develops and tests a model of the underlying mechanisms linking transformational leadership and employee creativity using a sample of 240 matched middle-level manager and front-line supervisor dyads from a large foreign joint-venture company in China. We propose that personal control and employee creative personality serve as a unique psychological mechanism and an important boundary condition to simultaneously influence the relationship between transformational leadership and employee creativity. Results of moderated-mediation analyses provided support for our conceptual model, showing that transformational leadership was positively related to personal control, which also had a positive impact on employee creativity. Furthermore, creative personality was found to moderate the relationship between transformational leadership and personal control, which in turn, mediated the joint effect on employee creativity. Findings of this study provide insights into the research on leadership development and work design in HRM, which can inform human resource managers to design effective strategies and systems that can increase employees' creativity.

7 | CONCLUSION

This study adds to the current research on transformational leadership and creativity. Our findings provide theoretical and practical insights into this area, being the first to explore the mediating effect of personal control and the moderating effect of creative personality in the motivational process of transformational leadership and employee creativity to understand the previously inconsistent findings about the interaction effect of specific leadership behaviors and creative personality or other related dispositional variables. Our findings reveal that transformational leaders are better able to promote creativity among employees by enabling them to experience high levels of personal control over their work role and outcomes. This is particularly effective for employees low (rather than high) in creative personality.
