We examined the effect of leader narcissism on the change-oriented organizational citizenship behavior of subordinates and the mediating role of leader–member exchange (LMX) in this relationship. We further proposed that perceived overall justice would moderate the relationship
between leader narcissism and LMX. We used data from 158 pairs of squadron leaders and subordinates in 4 battalions of the Korean Army. Hierarchical regression analysis results confirmed the proposed effects and further revealed a stronger positive relationship between leader narcissism and
LMX when perceived overall justice was high versus low. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

We proposed a 3-way interaction between empowering leadership, intrinsic motivation, and task visibility to predict employee creativity. Participants were 224 employee–leader dyads working in South Korean firms. Results showed that in situations of high task visibility, empowering
leadership related more positively to creativity for employees with low rather than high motivation. In contrast, in situations low in task visibility, empowering leadership related more positively to creativity for employees with high rather than low motivation. Thus, our results confirmed
the importance of the 3 factors for enhancing employee creativity.
