Liderazgo ético, motivación intrínseca y comportamiento creativo en el sector eléctrico colombiano
Resumen
Esta investigación tiene como objetivo principal determinar si el liderazgo ético modera la relación causal entre la motivación intrínseca y el comportamiento creativo de los empleados dentro del sector eléctrico colombiano. Se utiliza un diseño cuantitativo-correlacional con una muestra de 448 profesionales, el análisis estadístico se concreta con un proceso condicional de moderación. La motivación intrínseca y el liderazgo ético se relacionan con el comportamiento creativo a través de un patrón curvilíneo. Por lo tanto, la adecuada percepción de estas dos variables determina la dirección de la curva y su influencia, negativa o positiva, sobre el comportamiento creativo. Además, la motivación intrínseca tiene un efecto gradual sobre el comportamiento creativo en función del alcance percibido de liderazgo ético. En conclusión, la interacción frecuente con el líder ético origina estados de ánimo positivos y un fuerte sentimiento de apoyo que liberan al seguidor para ser más creativo. Seguramente, un contexto de confianza, con bajos prejuicios, motiva intrínsecamente al empleado para que su comportamiento extralimite las conductas convencionales.
