Idiosyncratic deals (I-deals), a novel human resource management implement, has significantly contributed to attracting, retaining and motivating personnel to enhance creativity. Building upon self-categorization theory, this study investigates the impact of I-deals on creativity and the moderating role of psychological safety in this process by perceived insider status.
To mitigate common method bias and causal lag effects, this study was conducted in three phases with a half-month interval for data collection. In this study, a total of 331 employees from six enterprises in China were selected to test the hypotheses using Bootstrap and Johnson-Neyman methods.
Results show that I-deals have a positive influence on creativity. Perceived insider status acts as intermediary between I-deals and creativity; Psychological safety strengthens the influence of I-deals on perceived insider status and further enhances the indirect influence of I-deals on creativity through perceived insider status.
This study demonstrates that organizations can leverage the unique characteristics of I-deals to fully showcase the diverse talents of their personnel, while simultaneously enhancing their psychological security. This, in turn, empowers employees to confidently propose new ideas and methods, thus catalyzing the generation of creativity.
特质交易（I交易）作为一种新型的人力资源管理工具，在吸引、留住和激励员工以提高创造力方面发挥了重要作用。基于自我分类理论，本研究探讨了I交易对创造力的影响，以及心理安全感在这一过程中通过感知内部人身份所起的调节作用。
为减轻共同方法偏差和因果滞后效应，本研究分三个阶段进行，数据收集间隔为半月。本研究选取了中国六家企业的331名员工，采用Bootstrap和Johnson-Neyman方法对假设进行检验。
结果表明，I交易对创造力有积极影响。感知内部人身份在I交易和创造力之间起中介作用；心理安全感增强了I交易对感知内部人身份的影响，并进一步增强了I交易通过感知内部人身份对创造力的间接影响。
本研究表明，组织可以利用I交易的独特特性，充分展示员工的多样才能，同时增强他们的心理安全感。这反过来又使员工能够自信地提出新想法和方法，从而促进创造力的产生。
