摘要：本文探讨了变革型领导行为对员工创新产生影响的作用机制，即变革型领导是否通过领导－下属关系的中介作用对员工创新产生影响。采用结构方程模型的方法分析了变革型领导行为、领导－下属关系以及员工创新之间的关系。对西安一高新企业的领导和下属，以及苏州EMBA学员及其下属进行问卷调查,共收回183对匹配的有效问卷。研究结果发现：（1）变革型领导与员工创新、领导－下属关系的紧密性和朋友互助维度分别显著相关，而与情感关系维度相关性不显著；（2）领导－下属关系的紧密性和朋友互助维度与员工创新显著相关，情感关系与创新相关性不显著；（3）朋友互助维度对变革型领导与员工创新起到完全中介作用。

Structural equation modeling was used to examine the specific relations between transformational leadership, supervisor-subordinate relationship, and employee creativity. Participants of the study were employees and their supervisors from a high-tech corporation in Xi’an and EMBA students in Suzhou. Finally, 183 usable questionnaires of matched pair were returned.
