摘 要
创造力作为创新产生的前提，近年来越来越受到国内外企业管理
者和研究学者的重视和关注。在企业实际运作中，领导作为组织的代
表，是影响员工创造力的重要因素之一。针对这一主题，本文重点考
察了领导创造力如何自上而下的影响员工创造力，并基于社会认知理
论和组织内的上行下效机制，对员工知识贡献意愿和员工知识收集的
意愿的中介作用进行研究。本文以多样化行业，342 套主管领导与下
属员工配对收集的问卷为样本。本研究发现，具有较高创造力的领导，
会使下属员工更有知识贡献和知识收集的意愿，进而促使员工表现出
较高的创造力。同时，考虑到领导和员工关系作为环境变量也将影响
员工的行为，因此，本文还考察了员工对领导的认知信任在上述作用
机制中的调节作用。本文不仅有助于弥补目前对创造力实证研究的不
足，而且能够将领导与员工结合起来考察，对实践中企业更好的管理
和提升创造力提供参考。
