The Relationship between Person-Organization Fit and Employee Creativity: A Mediated Moderation Model

Abstract

Abstract: The aim of this study which built on the theory of person-environment fit theory was to examine the relationship among person-organization fit employee creativity, work passion and creative self-efficacy. 223 employees took part in this study. Questionnaires were employed to collect data. The results showed that: (1) Person-organization fit has a significantly positive effect on employee creativity, creative self-efficacy plays a partial mediating role between person- organization fit and employee creativity. (2) Work passion moderates the relation between person-organization fit and employee creativity. (3) The moderating effect of work passion is mediated by creative self-efficacy, that is, for employee, there is a significant relation between person-organization fit and employee creativity through creative self-efficacy under the low work passion level.

Key words: person-organization fit, employee creativity, work passion, creative self-efficacy

摘要： 基于个人-环境契合理论，采用问卷调查法收集223份员工数据，检验个人-组织契合对员工创造力产生的作用机理。结果表明：（1）个人-组织契合显著正向预测员工创造力，个人-组织契合通过创新自我效能感的部分中介效应影响员工创造力。（2）工作激情在个人-组织契合与员工创造力关系中发挥调节作用。（3）工作激情的调节作用通过创新自我效能感的中介实现，当工作激情较低时，个人-组织契合通过创新自我效能感的中介对其员工创造力产生更强烈的影响。
