| description | Abstract This paper expands the understanding of the relationship between spiritual leadership (SPL) and the creative service performance of employees. The research model, based on cognitive evaluation theory, examines the mediating role of employee autonomy and the moderating role of proactive personality in the relationship between SPL and employee creative service performance. Data was collected from 351 employees in China to test the moderated mediation model of this study. The empirical analysis reveals a positive association between SPL and employee autonomy, which in turn leads to increased employee creative service performance. Furthermore, the results show that SPL indirectly affects employee creative service performance via employee autonomy. Additionally, the findings suggest that a proactive personality can enhance the direct effect of SPL on employee autonomy and the indirect effect of SPL on employee creative service performance via employee autonomy. These results contribute significantly to the literature on SPL and creativity. The contributions and implications of this study are discussed in the subsequent section. |
