This study developed and tested a research model to examine the influence of leader humility on team creativity. Drawing on social learning theory, we tested team behavioral integration as a mediator in the relationship between leader humility and team creativity. Moreover, we tested the moderating effect of leader performance on this mediated relationship. We tested our hypotheses using a multiple-source research design. Data were collected from 275 employees in 67 work teams from a variety of industrial companies in Southeast China. The results confirmed that team behavioral integration mediated the relationship between leader humility and team creativity. Furthermore, the indirect effect of leader humility on team creativity team behavioral integration was stronger when leader performance was higher (vs. lower). We discuss the implications of our findings for the theory and practice of leader humility.
本研究开发并测试了一个研究模型,以检验领导者谦逊对团队创造力的影响。基于社会学习理论,我们测试了团队行为整合在领导者谦逊与团队创造力关系中的中介作用。此外,我们还测试了领导者绩效对这种中介关系的调节作用。我们使用多源研究设计来检验我们的假设。数据收集自中国东南部多家工业公司67个工作团队中的275名员工。结果证实,团队行为整合在领导者谦逊与团队创造力之间起中介作用。此外,当领导者绩效较高(相对于较低)时,领导者谦逊通过团队行为整合对团队创造力产生的间接效应更强。我们讨论了研究结果对领导者谦逊理论和实践的启示。
