Abstract

From the perspective of leadership-member exchange relationship, this study explores the influence of leaders' psychological capital on employee innovation behavior and the role of leadership-member exchange in the survey of employees in China's Pearl River Delta region. Literature research and data analysis show that “optimism” in the leader's psychological capital directly affects the employee's innovative behavior; “confidence” and “hope” not only have a direct impact on employee innovation behavior, but also indirectly through leadership-member exchange; The impact of “resilientness” on employee innovation behavior is indirect, and leadership-member exchange plays a full intermediary role. Finally, based on the reality of Chinese enterprises, this study summarizes the theoretical contribution of research results to psychological capital research and its practical significance to Chinese enterprises, and points out the shortcomings of this research and the direction of further exploration in the future.
