Role of Positive Affective Experiences of Transformational Leaderships Impact and Incentives for Creative Performance and Organizational Citizenship Behaviors

Abstract

This research employed an interactionist approach to demonstrate the way that trait PA affects TL and, as a result, affect OCB and creative behavior. The methodological approach of this research is a Quantitative survey of 212 employees and their direct managers from the west of education of Iran in Marivan city. Finding show that the results support the hypothesized moderation effect. A transformational leader who possesses high trait PA may have a stronger relationship with a follower with high trait PA. Therefore, the positive influence of transformational leadership on creative performance was significantly reduced for followers who were higher on the trait PA (ΔR2 =. 03, p<. 05). The same pattern, in which followers? trait PA appeared to substitute for the influence of transformational leadership, generalized to the outcome of follower OCB as well (ΔR2 =. 05, p<. 01). In this paper discussed theoretical and practical implications of these findings.
