高创造力员工的创新绩效一定高吗?

Are Highly Creative Employees Always Delivered High Innovative Performance?

员工创造力作为企业竞争优势的主要来源,其积极作用已得到学术界的广泛认同,但员工的高创造力是否一定会带来高的创新绩效还有待检验。因此,本研究基于社会认知理论,以中国组织中1031份员工调查数据为样本,纳入员工道德认同和道德推脱两个变量,将员工视为道德主体,实证检验员工的创造力与创新绩效的关系。研究表明,高创造力的员工能够带来较高的创新绩效,道德认同对高创造力员工的创新绩效的提升有重要的促进作用,员工的道德推脱可能降低员工的创新绩效。本研究丰富了社会认知理论在创新领域的应用,弥补了员工创造力的负面效应研究的不足。
