dc.titleThe impacts of creative performance pressure on employee’s creativity performance of the B2B manufacturing firms and their business partners in Hong Kong : the moderating role of conscientiousness, extraversion, and opennessen_US
dcterms.abstractCreativity is an imperative factor for organizational triumph in the ever-evolving modern business landscape. Previous research has highlighted the significance of employee creativity performance pressure in facilitating creative performance. However, the specific effects of various pressure sources on diverse forms of creativity engagement, as well as the potential moderating influence of personality traits, have yet to be investigated. To address this knowledge gap, this research explored four types of creativity performance pressure: organization-driven, peer-driven, client-driven, and self-driven. Drawing on achievement goal theory, a model was developed to understand the relationship between these types of creative performance pressure and employees' engagement in radical and incremental creativity. The study also examined the moderating effects of conscientiousness, extraversion, and openness on this relationship. The hypotheses were tested in a sample of 415 participants from B2B Hong Kong manufacturing firms and their business partners. The results demonstrated that the four types of creative performance pressure exert favorable and unfavorable impacts on employees' engagement in radical and incremental creativity. Additionally, conscientiousness and openness were identified as the moderator influencing the way creative performance pressure impacts engagement in creative activities. The findings contribute to the existing literature by refining the concept of creative performance pressure, as well as exploring how it influences creativity engagement. This study offers practical implications for nurturing creativity in business, engaging employees creatively, and fostering an innovative organizational culture.en_US
