The relationship between narcissism and creativity has inspired interesting debates for decades. Drawing on a new perspective, the current study tried to explain how narcissism influences others' creativity evaluation in the organizational context. Based on the theory of impression management, we suggested that narcissism and creativity may have a more complex relationship rather than a simple linear link. To test this relationship, we conducted a survey of 596 subordinates and 60 leaders in three high-technology companies. The result showed that there was an inverted U-shaped relationship between narcissism and creativity evaluation. Moreover, personal reputation mediated this curvilinear relationship and this relationship was significant only when narcissists were low in political skill. Theoretical and practical implications, limitations and future directions have also been discussed.
几十年来，自恋与创造力之间的关系引发了有趣的争论。本研究从一个新的视角出发，试图解释在组织背景下自恋如何影响他人对创造力的评价。基于印象管理理论，我们认为自恋与创造力之间可能存在更复杂的关系，而非简单的线性联系。为了检验这种关系，我们对三家高科技公司的596名下属和60名领导者进行了调查。结果表明，自恋与创造力评价之间存在倒U形关系。此外，个人声誉在这种曲线关系中起中介作用，并且只有当自恋者的政治技能较低时，这种关系才显著。我们还讨论了理论和实践意义、局限性及未来方向。
