Abstract
The present study aimed to establish the role of perceived authentic
leadership in work-related flow and creativity of employees of flat and
tall organizations. Additionally, moderating role of organizational
structure (flat and tall) in predicting creative work behavior was also
appraised. Sample (N = 1180) comprised of male and female employees
(mean age = 33.24 years) working in marketing departments of banks (n
= 600) and software companies (n = 580). Results showed that perceived
authentic leadership positively predicted work-related flow and creative
work behavior. Similarly, work-related flow also positively predicted
creativity at workplace. Furthermore, relationship between perceived
authentic leadership and creative work behavior was moderated by
organizational structure. Results also showed that employees working in
software houses (flat organization) expressed favorable perceptions and
experiences of authentic leadership, work-related flow, and creative
work behavior as compared to those working in banks (tall
organization). Implications of the present study for employees and
management were also discussed.
