“…Ample research has been conducted on the relationship between LMX and creativity (Basu & Green, 1997;Pan, Sun, & Chow, 2013;Pan, Wu, & Lou, 2015;Peng, Chen, Xia, & Ran, 2017;Volmer, Spurk, & Niessen, 2015;Zhao, Kessel, & Kratzer, 2013). A literature review of extant studies showed a small correlation coefficient (r ranging from =.10 -.30; Pan et al, 2013;Peng et al, 2017;Zhao et al, 2013) on average, indicating that an underlying mechanism occurs between LMX and creativity. Several studies have also found mediators such as self-efficacy, psychological empowerment, felt obligation, and information sharing in the relationship between LMX and creativity (Agarwal, Datta, Blake-Beard, & Bhargava, 2012;Khazanchi & Masterson, 2011;Liao, Liu, & Loi, 2010;Pan et al, 2013).…”
