This study draws on a self-regulatory perspective to develop a theoretical model in which supervisor negative feedback provided in different ways initiates subordinates’ distinct cognitive appraisals of feedback stimuli and, thereby, triggers regulation of subordinates’ creative behavior, which is the behavioral manifestation of creativity. Furthermore, this study suggests that the subordinate's regulatory focus is a dispositional boundary condition that influences the effect of supervisor negative feedback on subordinate creative behavior. A scenario-based experimental study and time-lagged field study showed that (1) the supervisor's developmental negative feedback triggers both challenge appraisal and hindrance appraisal, while the supervisor's controlling negative feedback only induces hindrance appraisal; and (2) the supervisor's developmental negative feedback exerts an indirect positive effect on self-reported subordinate creative behavior via challenge appraisal, which is significantly strengthened by the subordinate's promotion focus, while the supervisor's controlling negative feedback exerts an indirect negative effect on supervisor-assessed subordinate creative behavior via hindrance appraisal.

We conducted semi-structured interviews with eleven participants, including entrepreneurs, academicians, and product designers from diverse fields, such as product design, textile, ergonomics, finance, biomedical engineering, computer science, and mechanical engineering. Using Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques, specifically keyword extraction and topic modeling with Latent Semantic Indexing, we analyzed the interview transcripts to identify key terms and themes. From this analysis, we extracted the top 50 words and identified the top 20 topics related to entrepreneurial thinking. Brainstorming sessions with product designers were then held to construct definitions based on these findings. Through majority and relationship analysis, we derived a unified definition of entrepreneurial thinking. The final definition was compared with variations of definitions prepared by undergraduate design students, revealing that students had a vague understanding of the concept. To address this gap, we proposed a framework that integrates the developed definition with engineering course elements using the Lean Canvas Model.
