摘要:

基于目标内容理论的观点,探讨了企业员工的内部目标和外部目标追求对突破性创造力和渐进性创造力的影响,并检验了代际差异对上述路径的调节效应。基于不同企业的247对上下级匹配数据的研究结果表明,外部目标促进员工的渐进性创造力,内部目标促进员工的突破性创造力;员工的目标内容对突破性和渐进性创造力的影响存在代际差异,相比新生代员工,外部目标对老一代员工的渐进性创造力产生更显著的影响,相比新生代员工,内部目标对老一代员工的突破性创造力产生更显著的影响。针对上述结论,进一步讨论了本文的理论与实践意义。

Abstract:

Grounded in goal content theory (GCT), this study examines the associations between different work goal content (intrinsic and extrinsic goal) and different creativity (radical and incremental), and we also examine whether these relationships are moderated by generation difference. Data are collected from 247dyads of employees and their immediate supervisors. Results of the analysis show that extrinsic goal content positively predictes incremental creativity, intrinsic goal content positively predicts radical creativity. Generation difference moderates these relationships. More specifically, the relationship between extrinsic goals and incremental creativity is stronger for Cultural Revolution Generation than New Generation and the relationship between intrinsic goals and radical creativity is weaker for New Generation than Cultural Revolution. Strengths,practical implications, limitations and directions for future research are provided.

Key words: intrinsic goals, extrinsic goals, incremental creativity, radical creativity, generation difference
