Abstract

ABSTRACT Previous studies on mindfulness and creativity have focused on the beneficial effects of mindfulness on concentration. However, few have explored this from the perspective of psychological resources. Based on resource conservation theory, this study focuses on the positive psychological functions of mindfulness and how they complement the psychological resources depleted in the performance of creativity. Thus, guaranteeing the completion of creativity‐related activities. We used a three‐time lag design and analyzed reports from 404 employees and 85 supervisors to explore the impact of employees' mindfulness on their creativity and the chain‐mediating role of psychological capital and creative process engagement in the relationship between the two. The results indicated that employees' mindfulness can influence their creativity not only directly but also through the mediation of just creative process engagement as well as through the chain mediation of psychological capital and creative process. The findings revealed the psychological mechanisms through which employees' mindfulness impacts their creativity, providing a scientific basis for exploring how to effectively enhance employees' creativity and dissipating the doubts raised about the current widespread use of mindfulness in organizations.

正念让员工更有创造力?心理资本对创造性过程投入的中介作用

以往关于正念与创造力的研究主要集中在正念对注意力的有益影响上。然而，很少有人从心理资源的角度来探讨这一点。基于资源保护理论，本研究关注正念的积极心理功能及其如何补充创造力表现中枯竭的心理资源。从而保证创造性相关活动的完成。我们采用三滞后设计，分析了404名员工和85名主管的报告，探讨了员工正念对创造力的影响，以及心理资本和创造性过程投入在两者关系中的连锁中介作用。结果表明，员工正念不仅可以直接影响其创造力，还可以通过创造性过程投入的中介作用以及心理资本与创造性过程的连锁中介作用来影响其创造力。研究结果揭示了正念影响员工创造力的心理机制，为探索如何有效提升员工创造力提供了科学依据，也为消除目前正念在组织中广泛使用所引发的质疑提供了科学依据。
