Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the circumstances under which empowering leadership fosters creative performance. Arguments were developed for a three$-$way interaction of empowering leadership, problem$-$solving demands and crcative personality in this linkage. These arguments resulted in ompeting hypotheses from a fit and a compensation perspective. The results from a sunvey of $213$ employees of a Flemish large industrial organization were used. We found that less creative employees in jobs with high problem$-$solving demands particularly bencfit from empowering leadership. This paper adds to a more complex understanding of the effectiveness of empowering leadership by highlighting the relevance of the simultancous interplay of contextual and personal factors.
