Servant Leadership, Team Reflexivity, Coworker Support Climate, and Employee Creativity: A Multilevel Perspective

Based on input–process–outcome model and contingency theory, we develop a research model that depicts the influence of coworker support climate on the cross-level process linkages among servant leadership, team reflexivity, and employee creativity. Using data collected from 442 participants in 92 teams, we conducted a multilevel analysis, which demonstrated that servant leadership promotes team reflexivity which, in turn, enhances employee creativity. In addition, our study suggests that the coworker support climate moderated the relationship between servant leadership and team reflexivity. Finally, servant leadership and coworker support climate jointly affect employee creativity via team reflexivity (multilevel-mediated moderation effect).
