Abstract

Employees’ innovation is a key determinant for companies to achieve competitive advantage and success. However, there is a relative lack of research on the relationship and mechanisms of action between servant leadership and employees’ innovation behavior. Therefore, based on the leadership-member exchange theory, this study explores the relationship between servant leadership and employees’ innovative behavior and the mediating role of leadership trust from the perspective of the employee-leadership relationship. Data were collected from 346 employees in Guizhou, China. We used SPSS26.0 and Amos24 to perform structural equation modeling and hierarchical regression analysis on the collected data. The results found that servant leadership positively influenced employees’ innovation behavior; leadership trust mediated the relationship between servant leadership and employees’ innovation behavior.
