On the basis of previous works, the authors first built reliable multi‐item scales for each variable included in the model; then, a multiple regression analysis was conducted to ascertain the causal effect of those exchanges upon creativity.Findings: The findings reveal that high‐quality exchanges between the employee and their work group and, to a lesser extent, their immediate superior, have a significant positive influence on their creative behavior.Practical implications: All this underlines the importance of the composition of work groups for achieving the team environment necessary for creative production.Originality/value: This paper provides new evidence about a still unexplored topic, trying to bridge the existing gap in the literature about the influence of leadership and group behavior on creativity PB Emerald SN 0263-5577 LK https://hdl.handle.net/10612/17734 UL https://hdl.handle.net/10612/17734 NO Muñoz-Doyague, M.
