The Psychological Empowerment and Creativity

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The current study examined how employee"s psychological empowerment influenced employee"s creativity through the mediation of intrinsic motivation at the individual level. On the other hand, it also examined the moderating effects of social support, compensation and job security on these relationships in the Mongolian setting.
The study was administered on 217 employees belonging to five public service oriented organizations in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. Data were analyzed by Smart PLS 3.0. The study found that partial mediating effects of intrinsic motivation on the relationship between (a) meaning and creativity, (b) self-determination and creativity, and (c) impact and creativity have been found to be significant, except the (d) competence and creativity. We also propose a model for examining the moderating effect of social support on the relationship between intrinsic motivation and creativity. Findings based on interaction effects support the hypothesis that social support, compensation, job security are good moderators of the relationship between intrinsic motivation and employee creativity. In other words, the potentially negative aftermaths of context can be controlled and reduced when trust, job security and social support dominate the intra-organizational climate.
Theoretical and practical implications of the findings, as well as recommendations for future studies, are suggested.
