创业激情能够激发员工的创造力吗？基于情绪与认知的双重机制研究

Can entrepreneurial passion stimulate employees’ creativity?Research on dual mechanism based on emotion and cognition

摘要:

根据情绪传染理论,创业者的创业激情通过情绪的“模仿-反馈”机制诱导创业团队员工的积极情绪,进而激发其创造力。基于情绪与认知的双重视角,本文采用层级回归方法,探索了创业激情对员工创造力的影响及心理机制,分析了战略认同和工作意义感在创业激情和员工创造力之间的中介和调节作用。通过对251份有效数据进行分析发现：创业激情对员工创造力有显著的激发作用,战略共识在创业激情与员工创造力之间起部分中介作用,工作意义感不仅在创业激情与战略共识之间起正向调节作用,而且在创业激情与员工创造力之间同样起正向调节作用。因此,创业者可以通过激发员工的创业激情,和员工达成战略共识,增强员工的工作意义感,以激发员工的创造力,进而提升企业的创新绩效。

Abstract:

Based on the theory of emotional contagion, the entrepreneurial passion of entrepreneurs can induce the employees’ positive emotions through the “imitation feedback” mechanism of emotion, and then stimulate their creativity. This study uses hierarchical regression method to explore the influence of entrepreneurial passion on employee creativity and its psychological mechanism from the perspective of the dual perspectives of emotion and cognition. Based on 251 valid data, this study shows that passionate entrepreneurs can stimulate employees to work creatively through emotional infection, and encourage employees to constantly find new methods and ideas in the process of work. Entrepreneurial passion not only directly affects employee creativity, but also indirectly affects employee creativity by promoting the formation of strategic consensus between employees and entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurs with high entrepreneurial passion can stimulate employees’ sense of organizational identity and mission by describing organizational vision to employees and sharing positive values with them, so as to help them accurately understand and identify with the strategic objectives of the enterprise, and improve employees’ creativity through strategic consensus. Sense of meaningful work not only plays a positive moderating role between entrepreneurial passion and strategic consensus, but also plays a positive moderating role between entrepreneurial passion and employee creativity.
