This research adopts a dynamic self-regulation framework to test whether there is a curvilinear relationship between creative self-efficacy and individual creative performance at the within-person level. Furthermore, to establish a boundary condition of the predicted relationship, the authors build a cross-level model and examine how approach motivation and avoidance motivation moderate the complex relationship between creative self-efficacy and individual creative performance.,To obtain results from a within-person analysis, the authors collect multi-source data from 125 technicians who provided monthly reports over an 8-month period.,The authors find evidence of an inverted U-shaped relationship between creative self-efficacy and individual creative performance at the within-person level and differential moderating effects of approach/avoidance motivations.,This study is one of the first to challenge the assumption that creative self-efficacy always has a positive linear relationship with creativity. It provides a more complete view of the complex pattern between creative self-efficacy and creativity at the within-person level.

人内创造力自我效能与个体创造力之间的曲线关系：方法/回避动机的调节作用

本研究采用动态自我调节框架，以测试在人际层面上创造性自我效能与个体创造性表现之间是否存在曲线关系。此外，为了建立预期关系的边界条件，作者建立了一个跨层次的模型，研究了动机和回避动机如何缓和创意自我效能和个体创意绩效之间的复杂关系。进行人员分析后，作者从125个技术人员那里收集了多源数据，这些技术人员在8个月内提供了每月报告。作者发现在人际层面上创造性自我效能与个体创造性表现之间呈倒U型关系的证据，以及进近/回避动机的不同调节作用。该研究是第一个挑战创造性假设的研究之一。自我效能感总是与创造力成正线性关系。它提供了人际层面上创造性自我效能与创造性之间复杂模式的更完整视图。
