Abstract

Few studies have attempted to examine the justice-creativity relation, yet the mechanism of how justice affects creativity deserves further investigation. We hypothesized that leader-member exchange mediated the relationship between justice climate and team member creativity. A survey conducted in 84 work teams in China found support for our predictions. Specifically, using a team leader-team member dyads data from 84 work teams including 84 team leaders and 359 team members in China, as well as using hierarchical linear modeling (HLM), we found that: (1) Justice climate was significantly, positively related to team member creativity; (2) Justice climate was significantly, positively related to leader-member exchange; (3) Leader-member exchange fully mediated the relationship between justice climate and team member creativity.
