The results of our research suggest that subordinates of creative leaders are inclined to engage in OCB and that team creative efficacy mediates the relationship between leader creativity and OCB in that subordinates of creative leaders tend to perceive team creative efficacy to be high, which drives them to engage in OCB to support the team and colleagues.
In particular, we identify a mediator (team creative efficacy) and a moderator (creative self-efficacy) of the relationship between leader creativity and subordinate OCB.
To test the mediating effect of team creative efficacy on the relationship between leader creativity and OCB, we conducted stepwise regressions by following the procedures set forth by Baron and Kenny (1986).
Hypothesis 2: Team creative efficacy mediates the positive relationship between leader creativity and subordinates' OCB.
Therefore, here we propose the following hypotheses: Hypothesis 2: Team creative efficacy mediates the positive relationship between leader creativity and subordinates' OCB.
For Step 3, when we added the perceived team creative efficacy into Model 4, as shown in Model 6, leader creativity was no longer significantly related to OCB while team creative efficacy is significantly related to OCB (γ = 0.188, p < 0.1), which meant that perceived team creative efficacy fully mediates the relationship between leader creativity and employee OCB.

Hypothesis 2 predicted that perceived team creative efficacy can mediate the positive relationship between leader creativity as perceived by team members and OCB.
Hypothesis 1 predicted a positive relationship between leader creativity as evaluated by team members and employee OCB.
When both leader creativity and team creative efficacy were entered in the regression, the effect of leader creativity was still significant but the coefficient became smaller (β = 0.32, p < .05), Meanwhile, the effect of team creativity efficacy was not significant (β = 0.24, p > .1).1
Third, we find subordinates' creative self-efficacy can act as the moderator of leader creativity and subordinate OCB.
In Step 2, we used OLS models to examine the main effects of leader creativity and OCB.
