How to motivate employees' innovative behavior is a constant concern of enterprise innovation management. At present, the research on the superior leadership and employee innovation behavior only reflects the direct relationship between the two, but the "black box" of the mechanism of the effect between the two has not yet been opened up. Based on individual motivation theory, this paper constructs a mediated model with regulation effect. The results show that transformational leadership is conducive to motivating employees' innovative behavior, and employees' psychological ownership plays a mediating role in the mechanism of the effect, and task complexity plays a regulatory role between psychological ownership and innovative behavior.
