社会关系的多样性如何影响创造力？超越信息的论点，我们理论化的创造性自我效能感作为一个动机解释的多样性的社会关系和创造力之间的关系。我们进一步将非线性强度作为该机制的边界条件.我们收集了309名员工的社会关系数据和98名直接主管的创造力数据。研究结果表明，社会关系多样性与创造性自我效能感存在直接的正相关关系，并通过创造性自我效能感与员工创造性存在间接的正相关关系。这些直接和间接的关系得到加强时，领带强度得到加强。我们通过识别和测试创造性自我效能感作为社会关系多样性的激励机制来促进和推进理论发展。我们展示了社会关系和关系强度的多样性的重要性，以及它们在将社会关系与创造力联系起来的激励过程中的协同作用。
How does diversity of social ties influence creativity? Moving beyond the information argument, we theorize creative self-efficacy as a motivational explanation for the relationship between diversity of social ties and creativity. We further posit tie strength as a boundary condition for this mechanism. We collected social ties data from 309 employees and creativity data from 98 direct supervisors. Results showed that diversity of social ties had a direct positive relationship with creative self-efficacy and an indirect positive relationship with employee creativity via creative self-efficacy. These direct and indirect relationships were fortified when tie strength was reinforced. We contribute to and advance theory development by identifying and testing creative self-efficacy as a motivational mechanism for diversity of social ties. We show the importance of diversity of social ties and tie strength and their synergistic role in the motivational process linking social ties to creativity.
