The present study adopted the Pygmalion perspective and a multilevel theoretical framework to investigate whether creative process engagement mediates the linkage of job creativity requirement with employee creativity. We examined whether team knowledge sharing moderates the aforementioned relationship. We obtained data from 71 supervisors and their 453 employees from three companies in China and applied Hierarchical Linear Modeling (HLM) version 6.08 to test the cross-level hypotheses. The results revealed that creative process engagement mediates the positive linkage of job creativity requirement with employee creativity. In addition, we observed that team knowledge sharing moderates the relationship among job creativity requirement, employee creativity, and creative process engagement. The practical and theoretical implications of the findings are discussed.
本研究采用皮格马利翁视角和多层次理论框架,以探究创造性过程参与是否介导了工作创造性要求与员工创造力之间的联系。我们检验了团队知识共享是否调节上述关系。我们从中国三家公司的71名主管及其453名员工那里获取了数据,并应用层级线性模型(HLM)6.08版来检验跨层次假设。结果显示,创造性过程参与介导了工作创造性要求与员工创造力之间的正向联系。此外,我们观察到团队知识共享调节了工作创造性要求、员工创造力和创造性过程参与之间的关系。我们还讨论了研究结果的实践和理论意义。
