Description
Summary:Employee innovative behavior significantly impacts both productivity and organizational efficiency. In the rapidly expanding and highly competitive chinese e-commerce sector, companies face the challenge of sustaining innovation amidst intense market pressures. Traditional management practices often fail to address the dynamic and evolving needs of employees, leading to suboptimal engagement and diminished creative output. This gap underscores the necessity for a deeper understanding of how leadership styles and organizational factors influence employee innovation. Developing effective strategies for fostering creativity and maintaining high performance is essential for sustaining a competitive edge in this industry. This study investigates the effect of inclusive leadership—specifically its dimensions of openness, availability, and accessibility—alongside psychological safety and work engagement on employee innovative behavior in chinese e-commerce companies. It also examines the mediating role of creative self-efficacy in these relationships. The theoretical framework of this research is grounded in social cognitive theory and social exchange theory.
