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.

摘要

本研究以创造力的成分模型为基础，旨在通过实证研究来自不同来源（即主管和同事）的知识共享与核心员工的创造行为之间的关系，来整合创造力和知识共享文献。本研究从互动主义的角度出发，旨在研究主管和同事之间知识共享对员工创造行为的交互作用。此外，本研究调查了员工的监管重点如何改变了上述关系。我们的结果表明，主管和同事的知识共享对员工的创造行为具有积极影响。也，
