AbstractWe examined the role of task-, self- and other-approach achievement goals and enjoyment as antecedents of creative self-efficacy and the influence of creative self-efficacy on divergent thinking scores among children from Mexico. Participants completed a battery of questionnaires measuring achievement goals, creative self-efficacy, enjoyment and divergent thinking skills. We used Structural Equation Modelling to test our hypotheses, treating the variables as latent. Results showed a positive influence of other-approach achievement goals and enjoyment on creative self-efficacy. The influence of creative self-efficacy on divergent thinking scores was not significant. The implications of our results are discussed.

The Relationship

The current study evaluated the impact of ethical leadership on employee creativity, with the mediating role of trust in leadership, while taking creative self efficacy as the moderator between trust and creativity. The data were collected from the 126 employees working in private sector organizations from Rawalpindi Islamabad region. The findings of the study indicated that ethical leadership is positively and significantly associated with the employee creativity as well as trust; whereas, trust in leadership partially mediates the relationship between the two. Similarly, the results confirmed that creative self-efficacy positively moderates the relationship between trust in leadership and employee creativity. Study implications and recommendations are also discussed.

We examined the interaction effect of supportive supervision and postgraduate students' core self-evaluations on academic creativity, as well as the mediating role of creative self-efficacy in this effect. Participants were 348 Chinese postgraduate students. The results show that supportive supervision was positively associated with students' academic creativity, and that creative self-efficacy mediated this association. Students' core self-evaluations and supportive supervision had a synergistic interactive effect on creative self-efficacy, and creative self-efficacy partially mediated the interactive effect of supportive supervision and core self-evaluations on students' academic creativity. The positive indirect effect of supportive supervision on students' academic creativity through creative self-efficacy was stronger when core self-evaluations were highly positive, compared to when they were less positive. The implications of these findings are discussed.

Creativity researchers have identified intrinsic motivation as the critical intervening process that explains the effects of contextual characteristics on individual creativity. Departing from this prevailing focus on intrinsic motivation, in the present study an alternative theoretical model was advanced based on the theory of planned behavior (TBP; Ajzen, 1991). Specifically, it was proposed that TPB-based psychological mechanisms (attitude toward creativity, creative self-efficacy, and creativity intention) would mediate the effects of contextual factors (leader encouragement and peer support) on individual creative performance. Multisource data collected at 3 time points from 386 students and their 28 instructors largely supported the hypothesized mediating role of creative self-efficacy. The current findings suggest a need to rethink the role of intrinsic motivation in the context-creativity link by identifying alternative psychological mechanisms.
