This study proposes a model of the impact of transformational leadership on employee creativity and task performance at both the organizational and individual levels through the mechanisms of cross-level mediation effects of psychological empowerment and person-supervisor fit. The samples were drawn from the generational gaps in the dyadic relationships between leaders and subordinates. This study was tested on 336 subordinates and 112 leaders in R&D with cross-sectional research of garment factories in Taiwan and the Chinese mainland with subsidiaries in Cambodia. At the organizational level, the results suggest that transformational leadership positively affects person-supervisor fit. The findings showed a positive relationship among psychological empowerment, employee creativity, and task performance at the individual level. At the cross-level, transformational leadership positively affects employees’ psychological empowerment. Person-supervisor fit is also shown to influence employees’ psychological empowerment positively. The results of this study show that psychological empowerment fully mediates the relationship between transformational leadership and task performance. The implications of the findings, along with some practical applications, are discussed.
