The data was analyzed by structural equation modeling using Smart Software Pilates and SPSS. Findings: Authoritarian leaders make a positive and significant effect on moral deviation both directly and through employees' assertiveness. Conclusion: Managers of knowledge-based organizations can strengthen the capacity and daring of employees to think and act beyond the existing bureaucratic constraints, and thus this will lead to enhancing their creative and innovative performance.
