Analyzing the Relationship between Platform Leadership and Employee Innovative Behavior in Electrical Systems Industries

Abstract

Employees’ innovative behaviors are a pivotal factor in organizational development. For organizational employees, the influence of leaders’ styles on behaviors is profound, making the stimulation of employees’ innovative behaviors a crucial aspect of contemporary leadership. Since the concept of platform leadership was proposed in China’s academic circles, its relationship with employees’ individual innovative behaviors has been a focal point for scholars. This study selects employees’ innovative behaviors as the research object. Building on a review of existing literature, it systematically explores the relationship between the emerging leadership style of platform leadership and employees’ innovative behaviors. Additionally, through interviews with 24 employees from platform enterprises in Guangxi and employing text mining technology, this study confirms that platform leadership positively promotes employees’ innovative behaviors, providing both theoretical and practical support to further validate the impact of platform leadership on employees’ innovative behaviors.
