    La expansión organizacional del sector eléctrico colombiano, que está soportada en un desempeño creativo constante, debe filtrarse a través de comportamientos éticos que eviten conductas irregulares. Por eso, esta investigación busca identificar como un clima ético benevolente se asocia con el comportamiento creativo mediante la moderación progresiva de la autonomía laboral y la motivación intrínseca. La muestra es de 448 empleados del sector eléctrico colombiano. De los resultados cabe destacar que un clima ético benevolente se vincula directamente con la creatividad de los empleados profesionales. Además, la amplitud de autonomía laboral no influye sobre el comportamiento creativo salvo que la motivación intrínseca percibida esté en niveles medios o altos. En conclusión, la relación entre un clima ético benevolente y el comportamiento creativo depende en gran medida de una percepción suficiente de motivación intrínseca, pues esta obstaculiza los efectos beneficiosos de la libertad y flexibilidad laborales, cuando es interpretada de forma débil.

    The organizational expansion of the Colombian electricity sector, supported by constant creative performance, must be filtered through ethical behaviors to prevent irregular behaviors. Therefore, this research seeks to identify how benevolent ethical climates relate to creative behavior, through a progressive moderation of work autonomy and intrinsic motivation. The sample consist of 448 employees of the Colombian electricity sector. Highlighted among the results is that a benevolent ethical climate is directly linked to the creativity of professional employees. Additionally, the breadth of work autonomy does not influence creative behavior unless the perceived intrinsic motivation is at medium or high levels.

    In conclusion, the relationship between benevolent ethical climates and creative behavior depends, to a large extent, on having a sufficient perception of intrinsic motivation. When interpreted as weak, intrinsic motivation hinders the beneficial effects of work freedom and flexibility.
