Self-Regulation of Creativity at Work: The Role of Feedback-Seeking Behavior in Creative Performance
基于456对主管-员工数据，研究发现员工通过主动寻求反馈（直接询问或间接观察）来提升创造性绩效，且认知风格和组织支持影响其反馈寻求策略。
Using 456 supervisor-employee dyads from four organizations, this study examined how employees use one proactive behavior, feedback seeking, as a strategy to enhance their creative performance. As hypothesized, employees' cognitive style and perceived organizational support for creativity affected two patterns of feedback seeking: the propensity to inquire for feedback and the propensity to monitor the environment for indirect feedback. Feedback inquiry related to supervisor ratings of employee creative performance. These results highlight the importance of employees' self-regulatory behaviors in the creative process and show that feedback seeking is not only a strategy that facilitates individual adaptation, but also a resource for achieving creative outcomes.
