Abstract : The importance of creativity to an organization and society is undeniable, simultaneously, leadership is a key
factor affecting the creativity of followers within an organization. Based on the clarification of the concepts and dimensions
of transformational leadership and transactional leadership, this paper examined follower identifications as a mediator and
employees’ perceptions of organizational support as a moderator in the relationship between leadership and follower
creativity. Using a sample of 242 employees from different industries in China, we found that most of our hypotheses were
supported. Specifically, results showed that followers identification mediates the positive influence relationship between
leadership on follower creativity, and follower’s perceived organizational support moderate both transformational leadership
and transaction all leadership in the relationship with follower relational identification. Implications of the findings,
Limitations of the study and directions for future research are discussed.
