The moderating role of creative personality in the relation of the feedback environment to creative performance

Abstract

This study explores the causal relationship between supervisor feedback environment and employee's creative performance, and the moderation of creative personality. Hierarchical regression analysis of a sample of 203 supervisor-employee dyads demonstrated that significant causal relationship exists between the supervisor feedback environment and creative performance, and the relationship between the supervisor feedback environment and the employees' creative performance is moderated by creative personality significantly. The implication of improving employees' creative performance is further discussed.
