ABSTRACT

This study examines the paradoxical leader behaviours’ (PLB) effect upon generating a favourable environment for workers’ participation in innovation and problem-solving activities. We hypothesize that PLB will affect workers’ trust in management. Trust will then lead to psychological safety, which will encourage workers’ innovative behaviours and participation in problem-solving activities. Survey results from 214 Korean workers confirmed these hypotheses. This is one of the leading studies in examining PLB through an empirical study, and the results should encourage researchers and practitioners alike to take a careful note of the construct and its practical applications.
