Abstract

In recent times, creativity and innovation have emerged as a captivating theme for many researchers. However, the influence of personality traits on creativity and innovative work behavior remains insufficiently explored. The aim of this study is to examine how personality traits influence the creativity and innovative work behavior of employees in private companies in Vietnam. Data were collected through a survey of 261 employees. The research hypotheses were tested using structural equation modeling (SEM) with SPSS and AMOS 20 software. The results show that openness to experience, extraversion, and conscientiousness have a direct positive impact on creativity and an indirect effect on innovative work behavior through the mediating role of individual creativity. Among these, openness to experience is the most influential factor affecting creativity (βstandardized = 0.418), followed by extraversion (βstandardized = 0.229), and finally conscientiousness (βstandardized = 0.169). Creativity positively affects innovative work behavior (βstandardized = 0.563). The relationship between neuroticism, agreeableness, and creativity is not supported. This study has made a significant theoretical contribution by supplementing evidence on the relationship between personality traits, creative potential, and innovative work behavior. Additionally, it offers practical implications for fostering creative activities and innovative work behavior in private companies in Vietnam.

个性特征对员工创造力和创新工作行为的影响

近来，创造力和创新已成为许多研究人员关注的主题。然而，人格特质对创造力和创新工作行为的影响仍未得到充分探讨。本研究旨在探讨人格特质如何影响越南私营企业员工的创造力和创新工作行为。数据是通过对 261 名员工的调查收集的。研究假设使用 SPSS 和 AMOS 20 软件的结构方程模型（SEM）进行检验。结果表明，经验开放性、外向性和自觉性对创造力有直接的积极影响，并通过个体创造力的中介作用对创新工作行为有间接影响。其中，经验开放性是对创造力影响最大的因素（β标准化 = 0.418），其次是外向性（β标准化 = 0.229），最后是自觉性（β标准化 = 0.169）。创造性对创新工作行为有积极影响（β 标准化 = 0.563）。神经质、宜人性与创造性之间的关系未得到支持。本研究补充了人格特质、创造潜能和创新工作行为之间关系的证据，在理论上做出了重要贡献。此外，它还为越南私营企业培养创造性活动和创新工作行为提供了实践意义。
