Abstract: In the process of pursuing innovation, many employees' ideas will inevitably be rejected by leaders, which hinders the generation of employees' innovative behaviors. However, not all employees will have a negative impact on their innovative behavior after their ideas are rejected by their leaders. Based on ABC theory of emotion, employees with different self-construal types have different reactions to their deviant innovation behavior after leader's idea rejection. From the analysis of the 405 sample data of the two stages, the research results show that: (1) employees with higher interdependent self-construal prefer will increase their innovative loss expectation after suffering leader's idea rejection and then restrain their deviant innovation behavior; (2) Employees with higher independent self-construal preference will increase their innovative income expectation after the leader's idea rejection and then promote their deviant innovation behavior. The research reveals the dual-pathway model of leader's idea rejection on employees' deviant innovation, which provides a theoretical perspective and practical enlightenment for enterprises to do a good job in employee creativity management and enhance employees' innovation ability.
