Abstract: In today's VUCA era, bootlegging can help organizations achieve breakthrough results and promote organizational development. Based on social cognitive theory, social exchange theory and social information processing theory, this study focuses on the dual perspectives of "innovation" efficacy and "willingness to transgress" in bootlegging, and explores the role of idiosyncratic deals in influencing employees' bootlegging from the perspective of leadership feedback. It also explores the boundary conditions of the idiosyncratic deals affecting employees' bootlegging from the perspective of leadership feedback. By analyzing the data from 424 samples, the results show that: idiosyncratic deals positively affects employees' bootlegging; creative self-efficacy and perception of constructive responsibility mediate the relationship between idiosyncratic deals and employees' bootlegging; supervisor developmental feedback positively moderates the relationship between idiosyncratic deals and creative self-efficacy and perception of constructive responsibility; supervisor developmental feedback positively moderates the mediating role of creative self-efficacy, perception of constructive responsibility between idiosyncratic deals and bootlegging.
