Summary:碩士 === 國立臺灣大學 === 心理學研究所 === 105 === Past literature suggests that benevolent leadership (BL) might have positive and negative effect on employee creative performance (CP). However, research has only found the positive relationship between BL and CP under certain situation. It is not clear regarding how and when does BL influence CP negatively. In order to fill up the research gap, the present study investigated the mediation effect of psychological safety (PS) and subordinate loyalty (SL) as well as identified job autonomy (JA) as moderator that influence the mediation effect of PS and SL. Using 203 dyad of supervisors and subordinates as samples, the present study found that BL influences CP positively through PS, however, BL does not have negative impact on CP via SL. Also, JA has significant moderating effect on the mediation effect of SL. When JA is high, the negative mediation effect of SL is weaker; when the moderator is low, the negative mediation effect is stronger. This study extends the creativity literature by establishing the mediation process between BL and CP.
