Abstract
Based on social information processing theory and motivational information processing theory, this article explores the impact, mediating effect and moderating effect of leadership perfectionism on employee innovative behavior. This study proposes the following hypotheses: (1) Leadership perfectionism negatively affects employee innovative behavior; (2) Speech climate plays a mediating role between leadership perfectionism and employee innovative behavior; (3) Team performance approach goal orientation negatively regulates the relationship between leadership perfectionism and voice climate. The theoretical analysis of this article has positive significance for improving the leadership effectiveness of perfectionistic leaders and promoting employees' innovative behavior.
