Abstract

Based on the tenet of social cognitive theory current research investigated the effect of relational mode of leadership (i.e., inclusive leadership (IL)) on taking charge with mediating role of creative self-efficacy (CSE) and moderating role of domain-relevant skills (DRS). Data were collected using separate sources (supervisor- subordinate dyads) from 301 employees of 123 work teams working in different small and medium size enterprises (SMEs) in Pakistan. Using structural equation modeling the results revealed the positive relationship between IL and taking charge and CSE was found as significant mediator in this relationship. The results further confirmed that DRS moderated the relationships between IL-taking charge, IL-CSE, and the indirect effect of IL on taking charge via CSE. Implications for research and practice are also discussed.
