微观开放性视角下创造力的多层次影响机制研究

Multilevel Analysis of Influencing Mechanisms on Creativity from the Perspective of Micro-openness

摘要:

本文采用微观开放性视角,探究团队跨组织搜索与经验开放性对于创造力的多层次影响作用。在团队层次发现团队跨组织搜索与团队创造力显著正相关,情景式学习和借鉴式学习两种外部学习方式在团队跨组织搜索和团队创造力之间起到正向调节作用。在个体层次,根据远端个性差异影响近端状态差异进而影响绩效的理论,我们提出经验开放性通过创新自我效能对个体创造力产生正向影响的假设,该假设得到支持。跨层次研究结果发现团队跨组织搜索负向调节了创新自我效能的中介效应,即创新自我效能在低团队跨组织搜索水平下起到显著中介效应,说明团队层次开放性和个体层次开放性对于个体创造力存在着一定的互补关系。

Abstract:

From the perspective of micro-openness, this paper explores how team search beyond organizational boundary and openness to experience affect creativity. The team-level finding is that team search beyond organizational boundary was significantly and positively associated with team creativity, and that both contextual learning and vicarious learning positively moderate the relationship between team search beyond organizational boundary and team creativity. At the individual level, in line with theoretical argument that “distal” trait differences impact on performance through “proximate” status differences, it was verified that creative self-efficacy mediated the relationship between openness to experience and individual creativity. We found a moderated mediation effect, that is, when the level of team search beyond organizational boundary was low, the mediation effect of creative self-efficacy was significant. This finding means that team-level openness and individual-level openness complimentarily have effects on individual creativity.
