Abstract

This study examines the underlying mechanisms of the relationship between proactive personality and creative behaviors, and it does so by proposing and empirically testing a moderated mediation model that explains how the indirect effect of employees’ proactive personality on their creative behaviors via leader-member exchange is moderated by the employees’ political skill. Data collected from 153 subordinate-supervisor dyads was used to test the hypotheses. Using hierarchical linear modeling, this research finds support for the proposed hypotheses. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
