Mediating Effects of Work Passion on the Relationship between Personal-Environment Fit and Employee Creativity
Main Article Content
บทคัดย่อ
Based on Lewin's "field theory" and Schneider's "attraction-selection-friction" theory, this study explores the influence of three dimensions of person-environmental fit (person-organizational fit, person-job fit, and person-leadership fit) on employees' creativity from the perspective of person-situation interaction. The results show that the three dimensions of person-environment fit have a significant positive impact on employee creativity, and work passion plays a significant role in mediating the relationship between person-job fit, person-leadership fit and employee creativity. The results show that all three dimensions of person-environment fit have a significant positive influence on employee creativity, and work passion plays a fully mediating role between person-work fit, person-leadership fit and employee creativity, and a partially mediating role between person-organization fit and employee creativity. This finding provides support for corporate management philosophy and practice to achieve the co-development of enterprises and employees, and helps to promote the development of corporate HRM practice. It enriches the research on fitting theory and creativity theory.
