Abstract

The present study examined the effects of workplace mood states on employee creativity. Workplace mood was classified into four categories based on valence and activation to address a recent debate regarding the ambivalent effects of positive and negative moods on creativity and to examine the significance of the activation level of a given mood. To clarify the mood–creativity relationship, the four kinds of moods were proposed to have distinct effects on proactive and responsive engagement in creativity. The research hypotheses were tested using the data collected from 292 employees and 109 managers of Korean organizations. Multilevel path-analytic model indicated that positive and negative activating moods were positively related to proactive and responsive creativity, respectively. The effect of positive activating mood was mediated by ambiguity tolerance and team identification. Positive deactivating mood was negatively related to both types of creativity, whereas negative deactivating mood was unrelated to either type. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Integrating cognitive evaluation theory with creativity literature, this study theorized and found a curvilinear relationship between role ambiguity and creativity, with a moderate amount of role ambiguity being the most conducive to work creativity. Tolerance of ambiguity moderated this curvilinear relation, suggesting that employees who have a high tolerance of ambiguity exhibit higher creativity in the situation of intermediate role ambiguity than those who have a lower tolerance of ambiguity. To further build the theory linking the interactive effect of role ambiguity and tolerance of ambiguity on creativity, this study investigated and found a mediating effect of creative self-efficacy. Two hundred and forty-two graduate students in business or a related field participated in the laboratory experiments. Two different experimental tasks were used to address the inherent limitations and bias associated with a single task in experimental studies. It is the first study that demonstrates an inverted U-sha...
