Notice of Retraction: Two-side charismatic leadership, organizational politics perception, and employee innovation: A mediation model

Abstract

The study develops and tests a theoretical model in which employee innovation is influenced by individual perception of organizational politics and charismatic leadership. Two types of charismatic leadership, socialized versus personalized leadership, are examined. We propose that socialized leadership negatively influence individual perception of organizational politics, which in turn negatively influences employee innovation; on the contrary, personalized leadership positively influence individual perception of organizational politics that results low level of employee innovation. The model is tested via a sample including 116 employee-supervisor dyads. Hierarchical Regression Modeling analyses confirmed only the personalized leadership-organizational politics perception-innovation mediation linkage. Implications of the finding are offered.
