中文摘要：

领导对员工创造力的影响是组织管理研究的一个重要议题。现有研究从不同视角提供变革型领导促进员工创造力的可能理论解释,但实证结果却不一致。本文试图通过发现变革型领导的＂阴暗面＂来解决理论和实证结果之间的不一致。具体地,本文探究不同形式的压力感知在变革型领导与员工创造力关系中所起的正向和负向中介作用：作为一种压力类型的挑战性工作起到正向中介作用,而作为另一种压力类型的负荷性压力产生了负向中介作用。采用来自65家企业的205个工作团队共905位员工的两时段测量样本,其随机系数模型的结果支持变革型领导通过影响员工负荷性压力感知来抑制员工创造力。当前文献集中于探讨变革型领导的＂光明面＂时,本文从＂阴暗面＂发展了现有理论。

英文摘要：

The influence of leadership in the employee creativity is an important topic for the organizational management re- search. The present research provides the possible theoretical explanations to the proposition that transformational leadership pro- motes the employee leadership, but the empirical results are inconsistent. In this paper, we try to identify the ＂dark side＂ of transformational leadership on creativity. By exploring the mediating role of pressure between transformational leadership and ere- ativity, we find that ehallenglng work, one type of pressure, mediates the positive relationship between transformational leadership and creativity; but more importantly, workload pressure as other type of pressure, mediates the negative relationship between transformational leadership and creativity. In a two - wave study of 905 employees nested in 205 work units from 65 high - tech- nology firms in China, the random coefficient model results support the ＂dark side＂ view that transformational leadership may have impedimental effect on ereativlty through influencing workload pressure of followers. In a bunch of literature which extols fa- vorable aspects of transformational leadership, our paper contributes to the research on dark side of transformational leadership.
