Abstract
ABSTRACT Applying on a componential model of creativity, this study intends to integrate creativity and knowledge sharing literatures by empirically examining the relationship between knowledge sharing from different sources (i.e., supervisor and coworkers) and the focal employees’ creative behavior. Taking an interactionist perspective, the study aims to investigate the interaction effects of knowledge sharing from supervisor and coworkers on the employees’ creative behavior. Furthermore, this study investigates how employees’ regulatory focus alters the aforementioned relationship. Our results show the positive influence of knowledge sharing from supervisor and coworker on employees’ creative behavior. Also, our results support that the positive relationship between coworker knowledge sharing and employees’ creative behavior could vary depending on the degree of supervisor knowledge sharing and the regulatory focus of the employees.
期刊介绍:
Human Performance publishes research investigating the nature and role of performance in the workplace and in organizational settings and offers a rich variety of information going beyond the study of traditional job behavior. Dedicated to presenting original research, theory, and measurement methods, the journal investigates individual, team, and firm level performance factors that influence work and organizational effectiveness. Human Performance is a respected forum for behavioral scientists interested in variables that motivate and promote high-level human performance, particularly in organizational and occupational settings. The journal seeks to identify and stimulate relevant research, communication, and theory concerning human capabilities and effectiveness. It serves as a valuable intellectual link between such disciplines as industrial-organizational psychology, individual differences, work physiology, organizational behavior, human resource management, and human factors.
