1School of Economics and Management, Harbin Institute of Technology, Weihai 264209, China.
Digital leadership fosters employee innovative behavior primarily through psychological empowerment, not affective commitment. Proactive personality did not moderate these relationships in the study.
Area of Science:
- Organizational Behavior
- Digital Transformation
- Innovation Management
Background:
- Employee innovative behavior is vital for organizational competitiveness during digital transformation.
- The specific impact of digital leadership and its mediating factors on innovation remain underexplored.
- Existing research often overlooks the cognitive-affective processing system in leadership-innovation dynamics.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the mediating roles of psychological empowerment and affective commitment between digital leadership and employee innovative behavior.
- To examine the moderating effect of proactive personality on these relationships.
- To understand the mechanisms through which digital leadership influences employee innovation.
Main Methods:
- Utilized the cognitive-affective processing system framework.
- Collected data from 359 employees across various organizations.
- Employed structural equation modeling (SEM) for hypothesis testing.
Main Results:
- Digital leadership significantly predicts employee innovative behavior via psychological empowerment.
- Affective commitment did not emerge as a significant mediator.
- Proactive personality did not moderate the direct or indirect effects investigated.
Conclusions:
- Psychological empowerment is a key mechanism linking digital leadership to employee innovation.
- Affective commitment and proactive personality do not play a significant role in this specific leadership-innovation pathway.
- Findings offer insights for developing digital leadership strategies to enhance employee innovation.
