The Influencing Mechanism Of Inclusive Leadership On Employee’s Deviant Innovation Behavior

In today’s rapidly changing market environment of science and technology,enterprise innovation and reform has gradually become the foundation of enterprise based on society.Faced with the diversity and uniqueness of the new generation of employees,the relatively single innovation method is no longer suitable.More and more scholars have paid attention to its more independent work characteristics and diversified work performance.It is also based on the current workplace characteristics of the new generation of employees,the phenomenon of employee deviance in the workplace has become widespread,and its impact on enterprises has become an important research topic.Therefore,how to stimulate employees’ deviant innovation behavior has become a hot topic in current research.Deviant innovation refers to the out-of-role behavior of employees from bottom to bottom,which is not authorized by managers and is aimed at promoting the interests of the organization.For employees,their deviant innovation behavior in the organization will not only threaten their own resources,but also be excluded by colleagues around them,and even threaten their work to some extent after the failure of innovation.Therefore,from the perspective of employees only,the spontaneity of deviant innovation behavior is very low,and there is a lack of antecedent variable that can stimulate deviant innovation behavior.Therefore,in order to make employees carry out deviant innovation behaviors in the workplace,senior leaders of the company and the corporate culture of the company must have a certain tolerance to allow employees to have behaviors contrary to the organizational rules of the company and the will of the leader.However,as a supportive leadership style,inclusive leadership is "inclusive" at its core,which not only requires leaders to tolerate employees’ mistakes in work,but also strive to provide opportunities for employees to dare to try and make mistakes,and support employees to break organization conventions for innovative activities when necessary.Through reviewing previous literature,this paper finds that inclusive leadership has a certain relationship with employees’ deviant innovation behavior,but few scholars use empirical evidence to further study its internal mechanism.Therefore,this paper included inclusive leadership,employee psychological empowerment,employee deviant innovation behavior and agreeableness leader humor into the research,and further explored the influence mechanism of inclusive leadership on employee deviant innovation behavior.In this paper,a total of 388 valid questionnaires were collected,and descriptive statistical analysis,reliability and validity analysis and correlation analysis were conducted on the questionnaire data by SPSS25.0 and AMOS22.0.The following conclusions were obtained:(1)inclusive leadership has a positive effect on employee deviant innovation behavior;(2)Employee psychological empowerment is the intermediate way in the transmission process of inclusive leadership and employee deviant innovation behavior;(3)Agreeableness leadership humor can improve employees’ perceived level of psychological empowerment;(4)Different degrees of affiliative leader humor can also lead to different levels of influence of inclusive leadership on employees’ deviant innovation behavior.
