Based on the sensemaking theory, by analyzing data from two-stage questionnaire survey of 87 team leaders and 434 team members, this study focuses on the impact of paradoxical leadership on employees’creativity, and examines the mediating effects of job autonomy and risk-taking willingness, as well as the moderating effects of risk-taking climate. Results show that paradoxical leadership can stimulate employees’ creativity, and can also enhance employees’ creativity by separately enhancing their job autonomy and risk-taking willingness, and it can also improve employees’ creativity through the serial mediating effect of these two factors. The risk-taking climate serves as a boundary condition for the influence of paradoxical leadership on employees’ creativity.
