Gen Z Employees’ Adaptive Performance in Hybrid Workplaces: The Role of Inclusive Leadership, Creativity, and Work Engagement

Katsaros, Kleanthis K.·2025·The Journal of Applied Behavioral Science

Abstract

By drawing on the social exchange theory, the article suggests a moderated mediation model to examine the role of employee creativity and work engagement in the relationship between inclusive leadership and employee adaptive performance. Data were collected from 305 Gen Z employees in the Greek telecommunication industry and their supervisors in three sequential phases. The research findings suggest that employee creativity mediates the relationship between inclusive leadership and employee adaptive performance. Additionally, they provide support that work engagement moderates the relationship between employee creativity and adaptive performance, as well as, the indirect relationship between inclusive leadership and employee adaptive performance through employee creativity; such that the positive relationships are stronger when work engagement is higher. The results indicate that should leaders and change management practitioners manage to positively influence (Gen Z) employees’ creativity by employing inclusive strategies and procedures; they will boost their adaptive performance during change.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
