Abstract:
This study aims to explore the impact of ethical leadership on employee creative deviance, with job autonomy as a mediator and creative self-efficacy as a moderator between job autonomy and creative deviance. A survey was developed based on construct measures from the literature. A total of 316 responses were received from employees of information and communication technology companies. Both ethical leadership and job autonomy have a positive impact on employee creative deviance; job autonomy plays a mediating role between ethical leadership and creative deviance; creative self-efficacy does not have a significant moderating effect on the job autonomy-creative deviance relationship. Future studies could explore the potential moderating role of both job autonomy and creative-self efficacy in the link between ethical leadership and creative deviance. This study recommends that organizations should adopt and promote an ethical leadership approach to manage creative deviance at work. This is one of few studies that examine the impact of ethical leadership on employees creative deviance, despite the fact that the influence of ethical leadership on the followers has been extensively examined.
