Abstract: Exploring how leadership can help organizations effectively guide employees to implement creative deviance has become a hot issue in the theoretical and practical circles. However, few scholars have investigated the impact of managerial openness on creative deviance from the perspective of risk perception. Based on the two-stage data of 236 in-service employees, the mechanism and boundary conditions of managerial openness on creative deviance are discussed. The results show that managerial openness has a significant positive impact on creative deviance. Psychological safety plays a mediating role between managerial openness and creative deviance. Innovation-oriented human resources management practices play a positive moderating role between managerial openness and creative deviance. The collectivist orientation plays a positive role in moderating the relationship between psychological safety and creative deviance. The conclusions of this study are helpful to deeply understand the formation mechanism that stimulates employees' creative deviance, and provide relevant countermeasures for enterprises to better stimulate and guide creative deviance.

Key words: managerial openness; creative deviance; collectivist orientation; psychological safety
