The Study On The Mechanism Of Subordinates' Perceied Differential Leadership On Their Creativity

With the further development of the localization of management,more and more scholars began to construct theory of leadership for the organization of Chinese culture,by studying the subordinates' perceied differential treatment,scholars summed up the phenomenon as differential treatment,differential leadership continued getting concerns and attention.Although many studies have demonstrated that differential leadership exists among Chinese organizations and plays an important role,because differential leadership is still in the early stages of development,its theoretical concepts are not mature enough,measurement tools have yet to be abundant,especially lacking empirical studies of effectiveness.At the same time the enterprises is in the face of fierce market competition in the reality,in order to maintain long-term survival and development,it is necessary to stimulate employee creativity,and improve the stock of human capital,and leadership styles of executives in all levels have the most direct incentive effect,so this article,based on social exchange theory,attempts to explain how the perceived differential leadership have an effect on employee creativity by collecting a large number of enterprise data,with the method of empirical methods from the perspective of subordinates.The results show that the differential leadership can improve employees' creativity,perceived organizational support plays mediating role between the two variables,the power distance plays the moderating role between differential leadership and perceived organizational support,and the power distance can moderate the mediating effect of perceived organizational support,these findings not only enrich the theoretical concepts connotation,but also be instructive to management practices.This paper is divided into five chapters,the first chapter is an introduction to clarify the background of this study,explain the significance,describe the main content and the framework of this study,and finally propose the possible innovations.The second chapter is literature review,the main aim of this part is to provide a theoretical basis for explaining possible roles of the differential leadership in the process by combing the development context of differential leadership which is differential pattern and self-perception.At the same time it analyzes the factors related to creativity,especially the significance of the leadership style in the organization,which provide reference for perceiving the process of how differential leadership influences creativity,and eventually finds that the social exchange theory can provide theoretical support for the entire theoretical model from the literature review of POS.The third chapter is the theoretical hypothesis and research design,the front half puts forward the hypothesis of this paper,including the perceived differential leadership with employee creativity,the perceived differential leadership with perceived organizational support,perceived organizational support with employee creativity,the mediating effect of perceived organizational support and the moderating effect of power distance,which in theory are derived to explain the proposed model;the latter part is research design,including data collection,sample description,measurement tools and statistical analysis,which pave the way for empirical studies next chapter.The fourth chapter is data analysis and hypothesis testing,it shows scale reliability and validity in order to assure scale reliability and validity,correlation analysis describes the correlation between variables of each test that test theoretical hypothesis preliminarily,hierarchical regression analysis is further evidence of a causal relationship between variables.The fifth chapter is the conclusion of discussions and the limitations with prospects of the research,summarizing research conclusions above,and pointing out the limitations and shortcomings of this paper and research prospects finally.Possible innovations are as follows:First,the present study is to investigate the effect of leadership style on employee creativity from the Western perspective,this paper establishes a model of localization theory of leadership on employee creativity,It tries to explain the interaction between leaders and subordinates under the background of Chinese culture,what's more,it will clarify the process of Chinese employee creativity in the enterprise,as a result,compensate for the lack of Chinese leadership theory.Second,research on differential leadership is mainly stay in the theoretical level at present,which is lack of empirical studies of its effectiveness,this paper uses the social exchange theory to analyze the relationship between leaders and subordinates in Chinese enterprises from the perspective of the subordinates,and uses the methods of empirical studies to prove the incentive mechanism of differential leadership on employee creativity and the mediating role of perceived organizational support,at the same time,this paper proves that the power distance can moderate the mediating effects of perceived organizational support,this reflects the incentive effect of leadership discrimination more accurately,what's all will make up the lack of situational factors to analysis process of role of differential leadership.
