Although studies have identified a link between employee intrinsic motivation (IM) and creativity and between positive mood and creativity, some of this study has been equivocal and little research has included these variables in an integrative model. Drawing from several theories of IM, we address this gap by proposing that IM is a critical intervening mechanism in the relationship between positive mood and creativity, and team knowledge sharing affects the power of this mechanism. Research on field data from 120 R&D team members in 30 teams found that team-level knowledge sharing moderated the relationship between employees' positive mood and IM, and IM mediated the relationship between employees' positive mood and their creativity. Implications of our findings are discussed.

情绪-创造力关系中的内在动机和知识共享

尽管研究已经确定了员工内在动机 (IM) 和创造力之间以及积极情绪和创造力之间的联系，但这项研究中的一些内容是模棱两可的，很少有研究将这些变量纳入综合模型。我们借鉴了 IM 的几种理论，通过提出 IM 是积极情绪和创造力之间关系的关键干预机制来解决这一差距，团队知识共享会影响这种机制的力量。对 30 个团队 120 名研发团队成员的现场数据研究发现，团队层面的知识共享调节了员工积极情绪与 IM 之间的关系，而 IM 调节了员工积极情绪与创造力之间的关系。讨论了我们的研究结果的含义。
