Furthermore, willingness to risk-taking is also positively correlated to follower radical and incremental creativity. In addition, the findings also indicated that risk-taking had a positive and substantial role in mediating the aforementioned association between participative leadership and follower radical and incremental creativity. ; Value added and limitations: In contrast to the previous conventional social exchange theory (SET), this study expands the focus of SET by examining the relationship between participative leadership and follower radical and incremental creativity in relation to willingness to take risks. This research adds to the existing body of literature on the connection between leaders and followers. ; This research also contributes to the expanding literature on how workers in textile firms may promote both radical and incremental creativity and develop the creative innovation inside their company. It also explores strategies for inspiring followers to embrace risk-taking and engaging in both radical and incremental creativity activities that can improve organizational creative performances. The study`s shortcomings and potential avenues for more investigation are explored.
