| Summary: | 碩士 === 東吳大學 === 心理學系 === 99 === Core self-evaluations (CSEs) refer to the fundamental assessments that people make about their worthiness, competence, and capabilities. Although many researchers found that CSEs are positively related to job satisfaction and job performance, the relationship between CSEs and creativity is seldom explored in past literature. In addition, the moderator role that transformational leadership plays on the CSEs-creativity relationship is also unknown. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate whether CSEs are associated with creativity through the mediating process of intrinsic motivation as well as examine whether transformational leadership may strength the above mediating process.
Using questionnaire survey, the study obtained dyadic data from 201 employees and 151 supervisors in Taiwan and China. The results showed that CSEs significantly predicted creativity. Furthermore, the intrinsic motivation mediated the relationship between core self-evaluations and creativity. However, transformational leadership doesn’t moderate the relationship between core self-evaluations and intrinsic motivation. The academic and practical implications were discussed at the end.
