Creative Requirement
研究发现，工作的创造性要求是员工创造力的重要预测因素，它完全中介了支持型领导和角色要求的影响，部分中介了授权和时间压力的影响，可能比改变工作设计更有效。
We identify the creative requirement of a job as a neglected predictor of employee creativity and propose that it may account for relationships between traditional work factors and creativity. As such, it may represent a more effective means of increasing creativity than changes in job design. Using structural equation modeling, we tested this model against four competing models using a sample of 1,083 health service employees. Creative requirement was found to account for much of the variance by fully mediating the effects of supportive leadership and role requirements and partially mediating those of empowerment and time demands. We conclude that creative requirement is an important proximal determinant of employee creativity and a potentially significant intervention.
