Abstract: While accumulating evidence suggests that leadership is an important aspect of the context for creativity, very few studies have focused on the underlying processes through which leaders motivate their followers to be creative. Further, few studies have explored the role of individual value differences in the relationship. This study examined the role of creative self-efficacy and power distance on the relationship between LMX and creative performance. We found that creative self-efficacy mediated the relationship between LMX and creative performance. Power distance moderated the relationship between LMX and creative self-efficacy but not between LMX and creative performance. We discuss the implications of these findings
