Ethical leadership, intrinsic motivation, creative self-efficacy, creative personality, organizational psychologyAbstract
The purpose of this study was to analyze how ethical leadership affects creative personality, transcending the classic focus on observable creative behaviors to focus on dispositional traits. Using a sample of 448 professionals from the Colombian electricity sector and a sequential mediation model, the role of intrinsic motivation and creative self-efficacy as explanatory mechanisms was examined. The results show that ethical leadership significantly strengthens creative personality and that this effect is enhanced when employees experience high levels of intrinsic motivation and confidence in their own abilities. This finding expands existing theoretical frameworks by introducing the notion of the “dispositional footprint” of ethical leadership on creative capital, providing empirical evidence that managerial ethics can shape stable psychological predispositions. The study also contributes to the organizational field by demonstrating that creativity can be managed as a sustainable competitive advantage, reinforced by ethical leadership practices that consolidate innovative, resilient, and socially responsible talent.
