变革型领导对多层面创造力的双刃剑效应

The Double-edged Sword Effect of Transformational Leadership on Multilevel Creativity

变革型领导与创造力的关系是在充满竞争和不确定性组织变革情境下必然产生的研究主题。本文系统梳理了变革型领导对多层面创造力的双刃剑效应,从促进机制来看,变革型领导分别通过动机、认知、情绪机制促进个体创造力,从团队认知、团队互动机制提升团队创造力;从抑制机制看,变革型领导分别通过认知、情绪机制抑制个体创造力,从团队认知、团队互动机制阻碍团队创造力;此外,还归纳了变革型领导与创造力之间存在的复杂曲线关系。未来研究应从均衡观出发强化变革型领导的阴面研究,从系统观出发揭示变革型领导维度与创造力的关系,从整合观出发深入探索变革型领导影响创造力的复杂机理,从权变观出发探讨变革型领导影响创造力的边界条件,从情境观出发推动变革型领导影响创造力的跨文化研究,从方法学出发提高变革型领导影响创造力研究方法的多样性与科学性水平。

Along with the globalization of knowledge innovation, creativity has become the core of modern enterprise to obtain sustainable competitive advantage motivation. The relationship between transformational leadership and creativity is an inevitable research topic in the organizational change context filled with competition and uncertainty. However, the current academic circles about the relationship remain major differences. Some scholars believed that transformational leadership on creativity has a promoting effect. Some scholars pointed out that transformational leadership on creativity exists inhibitory effect. In addition, some scholars believed that there is a non-linear relationship, namely, U-shaped and inverted U. The inconsistency of the research findings can lead to the cognitive dilemma of how to control the relationship. Only a few scholars summarized the promotion effect, and hadn＇t investigate the inhibition mechanism of transformational leadership on creativity.Aiming at the shortcomings, based on related research results, this paper refines the double-edged sword effect, and sums up of the nonlinear relationship. In terms of promotion mechanism, transformational leadership promotes individual creativity through motivation, cognition, and emotion mechanism, and improves team creativity from team cognition and team interaction mechanism. In terms of inhibitory mechanism, transformational leaders inhibite individual creativity through cognitive and emotional mechanism, and team creativity can be impeded by team cognition and team interaction mechanism.Therefore, future researches should intensify the negative aspects of transformational leadership from the perspective of equilibrium, reveal the relationship between transformational leadership＇s dimensions and multilevel creativity from the perspective of system, deeply explore the complex mechanisms of the effects from the perspective of integration, discuss the boundary condition of the effects from the perspective of contingency, promote the cross-cultural study from the perspective of situation and strengthen the diversity and scientific level of research from the perspective of methodology. The double sword effect of transformational leadership on creativity needs a comprehensive focus on. The positive effect should be researched to be applied to organizational innovation practice, so as to enhance the level of creativity; however, the negative effects need to be further explored and prevented in the management practice.
