The precedents of creativity comprise an important research topic that could help organisations survive fierce competition. To contribute to the literature on creativity, the authors examined the roles of competence and perceived organisational support (POS) in the relationship between servant leadership and follower creative behaviour. The authors proposed and tested a moderated mediation model with data from leader-follower dyads collected in a Vietnamese engineering firm. The results showed that follower competence is a significant mediator of the relationship between servant leadership and follower creativity. Furthermore, POS has a moderated mediating role, such that the mediated relationship (i.e., servant leadership, competence, and creativity) is more salient under high POS than under low POS. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

通过能力的仆人领导和追随者创造力：组织支持感知的适度调解作用

创造力的先例包括一个重要的研究主题，可以帮助组织在激烈的竞争中生存。为了为有关创造力的文献做出贡献，作者研究了能力和感知组织支持（POS）在仆人领导与追随者创造行为之间的关系中的作用。作者提出并测试了调解模型，该模型使用了从越南工程公司收集的领导者跟进二元组的数据进行了检验。结果表明，追随者能力是仆人领导与追随者创造力之间关系的重要中介。此外，POS具有适度的中介作用，因此在高POS下比低POS下的中介关系（即，仆人的领导，能力和创造力）更加突出。
