Abstract Using survey data of 57 CEOs and 176 TMT members from 57 high technology companies, we found that paternalistic leadership is positively related to TMT members’ creativity, whereas psychological empowerment fully mediate the relationship between paternalistic leadership and creativity. In addition, TMT members’ value moderates the relationship between paternalistic leadership and psychological empowerment such that authoritarian leadership has a weaker negative effect on psychological empowerment when TMT members’ collectivism or power distance is high rather than low, whereas benevolent leadership has a weaker positive effect on psychological empowerment when TMT members’ collectivism is high rather than low.
