员工情感与创造力:一个动态研究模型

Employee Affect and Creativity: A Dynamic Research Model

随着商业环境的加剧变化,员工的创造力被组织视为其应对生存与竞争的重要资源。而日益复杂的工作要求往往会使得员工产生较多的情感反应,从而影响他们创造力的提升。本文通过系统梳理国内外现有情感与创造力的研究文献,明确了情感的概念、测量方法及其对创造力的作用机理。在此基础上,构建了一个关于动态情感与创造力的理论模型,并针对其主效应、作用机制和边界条件提出了具体命题。最后,提出了本文的理论贡献,以及未来的研究方向和管理启示。

Owing to the rapid change of business environment,employees' creativity is considered to be pivotal resources for the survival and competition of organizations. However,the increasingly emotional reactions of employees,caused by complex requirements of work may influence their creativity enhancement. In this paper,we clarify the concepts and measurement of affect,as well as its effect on creativity by systematically reviewing the existing literature of affect and creativity. Then,we construct a theoretical model to investigate the effect of dynamic affect on creativity. Specifically,we put forward some propositions regarding its main effect,underlying mechanism and boundary conditions. Finally,we conclude by discussing the theoretical contributions,as well as the future research directions and managerial implications.
