Drawing upon social information processing theory, the study examined how ethical leadership shapes creative performance. Specifically, we tested a theoretical model integrating the sequential roles of psychological safety and creative self‐efficacy. A two‐waved sample of 512 supervisor‐subordinate dyads from frontline employees of three service industries located in Ghana was administered. The results of the hierarchical linear modeling analysis revealed that there is a positive relationship between ethical leadership and creative performance and that psychological safety positively and significantly mediates the relationship between ethical leadership and creative performance. Similarly, creative self‐efficacy significantly and positively mediates the relationship between ethical leadership and creative performance. Moreover, both psychological safety and creative self‐efficacy sequentially mediate the relationship between ethical leadership and creative performance. We discuss the implications of these results for research and practice.

道德领导力与创新绩效的中介作用：社会信息加工视角

该研究利用社会信息处理理论，研究了道德领导如何塑造创造力。具体来说，我们测试了一个理论模型，该模型整合了心理安全和创造性自我效能感的顺序作用。管理了来自加纳三个服务行业的一线员工的512个主管－下级对偶的两波采样。分层线性建模分析的结果表明，道德领导力与创造力之间存在正相关关系，而心理安全则积极且显着地调节了道德领导力与创造力之间的关系。同样，创造性的自我效能感可以显着并积极地调节道德领导力与创造性表现之间的关系。而且，心理安全和创造性自我效能感都依次调解了道德领导力与创造性表现之间的关系。我们讨论了这些结果对研究和实践的意义。
