摘要

The purpose of this research is to investigate the nexus between inclusive leadership, workers’ knowledge-sharing and innovative behaviors. Drawing on social cognitive theory (SCT), we further examined the mediating role of creative self-efficacy and the moderating role of employee sleep quality. We conducted a three-wave electronic survey to collect time-lagged data for empirically testing our model. 279 full-time workers of the star-hotels in the People’s Republic of China provided data to analyze our research model. Results reveal that inclusive leadership is positively associated with employee creative self-efficacy, which in turn is associated with workers’ innovative and knowledge-sharing behaviors. The results also revealed the significant mediating role of employee creative self-efficacy, thereby providing a unique underlying psychological mechanism that connects inclusive leadership to employee outcomes in organizations. In addition, we found a significant boundary condition role of employee sleep quality, such that poor sleep quality weakens the direct and mediated associations of inclusive leadership and employee outcomes. The study carries significant implications for practitioners and scholars of the hospitality industry. Limitations and future research directions are also discussed.
