Perceived Organizational Valuing of Creativity and Employee Creativity: The Effects of Employees' Self-expectations for Creativity and Creative Personality

Abstract

Abstract:

Taking employees and their immediate supervisors in 2 high-tech enterprises as the sample, this study investigates a total of 186 pairs of superiors and subordinates dataset in 61 teams. We discuss the positive influence that the perceived organizational valuing of creativity has on employee creativity, explore the mediating effect of employees' self-expectations for creativity, and then examine the moderating effect of employees' creative personality on the relationship between the self-expectations for creativity and the creative behaviors. The results show that:(1) The perceived organizational valuing of creativity has positive effect on employee creativity. (2) There lies a mediating effect of employees' self-expectations for creativity between perceived organizational valuing of creativity and employee creativity. (3) Employees' creative personality moderates the relationship between employees' self-expectations for creativity and employee creative behaviors; employees' self-expectation for creativity has a stronger effect on employee creative behaviors among employees with higher creative personality and vice versa. (4) Employees' creative personality moderates the indirect relation above (result 2), when an employee has higher creative personality, perceived organizational valuing of creativity has stronger positive effect on employee creative behaviors through employee self-expectations for creativity.

Key words: perceived organizational valuing of creativity, self-expectations for creativity, creative personality, employee creativity
