Abstract
Under the conditions of the digital era, people’s production and lifestyles are undergoing profound changes with each passing day, and the corresponding organizational forms and leadership processes have also changed. In this study, 627 Chinese employees were selected for a questionnaire survey, and hierarchical regression analysis was used to explore the relationships among E-leadership, thriving at work, and employee creativity. The results show that: 1) E-leadership is positively correlated with employee creativity, 2) E-leadership is positively related to thriving at work, 3) Thriving at work is positively correlated with employee creativity, and 4) Thriving at work mediates between E-leadership and employee creativity. Through the summary of the research results, this study offers a theoretical basis and direction for future research.
