Title:

 

Does Leader Perfectionism Foster or Kill Creativity? It Depends On Employees’ Locus of Control

 

Abstract:

 

To explain the paradox of whether leader perfectionism fosters or hinders employee creativity, we draw on the demand-control model to propose that leader perfectionism affects employee creativity by increasing engagement and emotional exhaustion, and the impact is contingent upon employees’ locus of control. Testing our theoretical model in a lab experiment and a field study, we found that leader perfectionism was associated with enhanced engagement among employees with an internal locus of control, which, in turn, increased their creativity, and that leader perfectionism was associated with heightened emotional exhaustion among employees with an external locus of control, which then decreased their creativity. We discuss the theoretical contributions of this research to the literatures on perfectionism and creativity as well as it practical implications for organizations.
