Abstract:

Decent work. As an emerging term that resonates with the international community, has become a hot research topic throughout the world. Based on the self-determination theory, this paper explores the mechanism of how decent work perception influences employees' creativity, especially the mediation of creative self-efficacy and the moderating role of organizational culture in Chinese context. Through paired investigation of 367 listed companies' employees and their immediate leaders, the empirical study finds that:(1) decent work has a significant positive effect on employees' creativity; (2) creative self-efficacy plays a partial intermediary role between decent work and employees' creativity; (3) The relationship between creative self-efficacy and employees' creativity is moderated by organizational culture in Chinese context. The extrovert organizational culture and team organizational culture have a positive moderating effect, while hierarchical organizational culture inhibits the intermediary role that creative self-efficacy has on the relationship between decent work and employees' creativity.

Key words: decent work, employee creativity, creative self-efficacy, organizational culture
