Abstract: Abstract Despite the increasing number of leadership-creativity studies and the fact that paternalistic leadership is a demonstrated popular leadership style in Chinese organizations, few studies have investigated the relationship between paternalistic leadership and organizational creativity. Meanwhile, the psychological processes underlying the leadership-creativity link remain unclear, at either the team level or the individual level. Drawing upon the componential theory of individual creativity, the input–process–output model of team creativity and the interactionist perspective, this study theoretically develops a multilevel model for understanding the influence of paternalistic leadership on creativity. Summarized by six testable hypotheses, the results provide important insights into the mechanisms linking paternalistic leadership and creativity in the Chinese context.
