摘　　要：谦逊领导作为一种“自下而上”的领导风格,因其迎合了人们价值观由服从、自控逐渐向自由、竞争等观念转变的趋势,成为近年来的研究热点。尽管谦逊领导通常被认为会为组织的员工行为带来积极正面的影响,但却很少有研究揭示何种情境因素会影响谦逊领导对员工行为带来的影响。为此,本文整合领导“特质论”和“情境论”,在探讨谦逊领导特质对员工心理安全和员工创造力影响效应的同时,以员工为中心,探讨了员工对领导谦逊动机的归因类型存在“真实型谦逊”和“人设型谦逊”时,是否会对谦逊领导与员工创造力关系带来不同的影响。文章基于52家企业的497对领导和员工的匹配问卷数据进行了实证分析,研究结果表明:(1)谦逊领导与员工创造力显著正相关;(2)员工的心理安全在谦逊领导与员工创造力的关系之间起着中介作用;(3)当员工对领导谦逊动机的归因为“人设型谦逊”时,其会对谦逊领导与员工心理安全之间具有调节作用,并且存在有调节的中介效应。本文揭示了谦逊领导影响员工创造力的作用机制及该机制产生效应的边界条件,在一定程度上丰富了中国情境下谦逊领导对员工创造力影响的研究,并试图提示实践界,避免将谦逊领导简单作为有效领导的代名词而给组织带来的潜在风险。Some studies have shown that the emergence of employees creativity is not isolated,and the exertion of employees creativity is not only related to individual knowledge and ability,but also closely related to the leadership characteristics in their social relations,that is to say,leadership style plays an important role in the exertion of employees creativity.However,previous studies have paid more attention to the impact of traditional“up-bottom”leadership style on employees creativity.However,under the influence of global culture,people s values gradually change to the concept of free and competitive individualism,and people pay more and more attention to equal interpersonal relations and free development atmosphere.As a result,the traditional“up-bottom”leadership style has been unable to keep up with the development of the times,and it is difficult to better influence employees and achieve the desired leadership effect.As a new“bottom-up”leadership style,humble leadership has become a research hotspot in recent years because it caters to the changing trend of people s values from obedience,self-control to freedom,and competition.Although humble leadership is generally believed to have a positive impact on employees behavior and performance,few studies have revealed what situational factors influence the impact of humble leadership on the organization.In order to fill up this research gap,this paper integrates the“trait theory”and“situational theory”of leadership.While discussing the effect of humble leadership traits on employees psychological safety and creativity,it also focuses on employees and explores whether employees attribution types of“true humility”and“personal-design humility”to leadership humility have different influence on the impact of humble leadership from the perspective of“situational theory”basing on the“real”and“hypocritical”humility of Chinese people.Based on 497 matching questionnaires of leaders and employees from 52 enterprises,this paper makes an
