Abstract
In the modern society, the creative performance of organizational members is increasingly valued. Research on creativity pointed out that goal orientation theory focusing on the learning behavior can predict the creative performance. But, the underlying psychological mechanism is unclear. Moreover, how the situational factors enacted on the creative process needs to be explored. Therefore, this current study collected data from 408 supervisor-subordinate dyads in Taiwan and explored how goal orientation influences the creative performance via the creative self-efficacy. The results showed that both learning goal orientation and approach performance goal orientation positively and indirectly affected the creative performance through the creative self-efficacy, but avoidance performance goal orientation did not. Additionally, perceived organizational innovative climate moderated not only the relationship between the approach performance goal orientation and creative self-efficacy, but that between creative self-efficacy and creative performance. Finally, related implications of these results for research and practice are discussed.
