How Job Creativity Requirements Affect Employee Creativity?A Job Crafting Perspective

工作创新要求与员工创造力的关系是在当今组织创新驱动情境下衍生而来的研究主题,其内在机理研究是学界与管理者们关注的前沿和热点。基于工作要求-资源模型和目标设置理论,探讨工作创新要求对员工创造力的影响机理,通过435份上下级匹配问卷的调查研究发现:工作创新要求对员工创造力有显著促进作用,工作重塑在创新要求与员工创造力关系中发挥部分中介作用,服务型领导不仅正向调节工作创新要求对工作重塑的影响,还正向调节工作创新要求通过工作重塑影响员工创造力的间接效应。研究结果有助于丰富工作创新要求与员工创造力关系的理论研究,并从积极引导员工认同工作创新要求、鼓励员工根据工作需要主动开展工作重塑、培养团队管理者的服务型领导风格三个方面为企业提升员工创造力提供有益的管理启示。
