Abstract: This chapter discusses the relationship between bootlegging and individual innovation performance, and considers the joint moderating effect of status and creativity. It has been found that bootlegging contributes to the improvement of individual innovation performance on the whole, and individuals with high creativity and high status benefit from bootlegging. In addition, when and only when individual creativity and status (formal or informal) are high, bootlegging will have a significant positive impact on individual innovation performance. This chapter discusses the function boundary of bootlegging, how it enriches and improves the concept of contingency relationship between bootlegging and individual innovation performance, and also explains the complex mechanism of individual level variables on the effect of bootlegging.
