직무 빚어내기와 구성원 창의성과의 관계: 개인의 조망수용과 팀 과업상호의존성의 조절효과

초록

As employee creativity is an important source of organizational innovation and competitive advantage, organizations are increasingly seeking to foster individual creativity. Additionally, in many organizations, people work in teams, and individual creativity is often enacted in such a context. Consistent with these trends, researchers’ interest in creativity is gradually increasing. In this regard, the purpose of this study was to examine the effects of job crafting on individual creativity. We also propose the moderating effects of perspective taking and team task interdependence. This study conducted multi-level analysis using HLM (Hierarchical Linear Modeling) while considering the individual and team level simultaneously, as each individual was nested within a team. To test the hypotheses, survey-based data were collected from 529 employees and 118 teams. The results revealed that job crafting was positively associated with individual creativity. Moreover, team task interdependence moderated the relationship between job crafting and creativity, showing that higher team task interdependence brings a stronger positive relationship between job crafting and creativity. On the other hand, we also found that perspective taking moderated the relationship between job crafting and creativity, such that the relationship weakens when employees report higher perspective taking. Based on these results, we discussed the theoretical and managerial implications and suggested some directions for future research on creativity.
