Abstract

In this study, building on job demand resource model, we proposed and tested a theoretical model on spiritual leadership’s effect on employees’ innovative behavior via thriving at work, and how empowering leadership and team fault tolerance could act as moderators. We tested the conceptual model using lagged data comprised of 248 Chinese employees nested in 75 teams, and the results showed that spiritual leadership is positively related to innovative behavior, and the relationship was mediated by thriving at work. Specifically, the positive relationship between spiritual leadership and thriving at work is stronger for employees with higher (vs. lower) empowering leadership. Moreover, we found cross-level moderating effect of team fault tolerance on the relationship between thriving at work and innovative behavior. Findings of the study offer managerial implications to organizations trying to enhance leadership effectiveness and increase innovative behavior.
