We examined the interaction effect of supportive supervision and postgraduate students' core self-evaluations on academic creativity, as well as the mediating role of creative self-efficacy in this effect. Participants were 348 Chinese postgraduate students. The results show that supportive supervision was positively associated with students' academic creativity, and that creative self-efficacy mediated this association. Students' core self-evaluations and supportive supervision had a synergistic interactive effect on creative self-efficacy, and creative self-efficacy partially mediated the interactive effect of supportive supervision and core self-evaluations on students' academic creativity. The positive indirect effect of supportive supervision on students' academic creativity through creative self-efficacy was stronger when core self-evaluations were highly positive, compared to when they were less positive. The implications of these findings are discussed.

The Relationship

The current study evaluated the impact of ethical leadership on employee creativity, with the mediating role of trust in leadership, while taking creative self efficacy as the moderator between trust and creativity. The data were collected from the 126 employees working in private sector organizations from Rawalpindi Islamabad region. The findings of the study indicated that ethical leadership is positively and significantly associated with the employee creativity as well as trust; whereas, trust in leadership partially mediates the relationship between the two. Similarly, the results confirmed that creative self-efficacy positively moderates the relationship between trust in leadership and employee creativity. Study implications and recommendations are also discussed.

Creativity researchers have identified intrinsic motivation as the critical intervening process that explains the effects of contextual characteristics on individual creativity. Departing from this prevailing focus on intrinsic motivation, in the present study an alternative theoretical model was advanced based on the theory of planned behavior (TBP; Ajzen, 1991). Specifically, it was proposed that TPB-based psychological mechanisms (attitude toward creativity, creative self-efficacy, and creativity intention) would mediate the effects of contextual factors (leader encouragement and peer support) on individual creative performance. Multisource data collected at 3 time points from 386 students and their 28 instructors largely supported the hypothesized mediating role of creative self-efficacy. The current findings suggest a need to rethink the role of intrinsic motivation in the context-creativity link by identifying alternative psychological mechanisms.

The Impact

PurposeThis study aims to explore the impact of ethical leadership on employee creative deviance, with job autonomy as a mediator and creative self-efficacy as a moderator between job autonomy and creative deviance.Design/methodology/approachA survey was developed based on construct measures from the literature. A total of 316 responses were received from employees of information and communication technology companies located in China's Pearl River Delta.FindingsBoth ethical leadership and job autonomy have a positive impact on employee creative deviance; job autonomy plays a mediating role between ethical leadership and creative deviance; creative self-efficacy does not have a significant moderating effect on the job autonomy-creative deviance relationship.Research limitations/implicationsFuture studies could explore the potential moderating role of both job autonomy and creative-self efficacy in the link between ethical leadership and creative deviance.Practical implicationsThis study recommends that organizations should adopt and promote an ethical leadership approach to manage creative deviance at work. Organizations could explore alternative methods of task completion to support the job autonomy for the employees to mitigate the dilemmas associated with creative deviance.Originality/valueThis is one of few studies that examine the impact of ethical leadership on employee's creative deviance, despite the fact that the influence of ethical leadership on the followers has been extensively examined.
