摘要:在家办公已成为一种日益普遍的工作模式,它所赋予的自主办公环境虽可能促进员工创造力,但伴随而来的高工作要求却可能阻碍员工创造力。本研究基于工作要求—资源视角探索在家办公对员工创造力的“双刃剑”效应并解析其中的中介机制及边界条件。对246名员工及其直接上级的两时点配对问卷调查发现:在家办公通过提高工作自主性促进员工创造力,时间领导在其中发挥正向调节作用。研究结果虽未能支持在家办公通过增加工作要求阻碍员工创造力的相关假设,但本研究呼吁学者进一步分析伴随在家办公而来的具体工作要求,以重新检验“在家办公损害员工创造力”这一观点的适用情境。
Abstract: Working from home has become a prevalent work mode nowadays. Although the autonomous work environment cultivated by such work mode can facilitate employee creativity, high job demands associated with such work mode can hinder employee creativity. Drawing on a job demands-resources perspective, this research investigates the double-edged-sword effect of working from home on employee creativity and elucidates its mediating mechanisms and a boundary condition. Based on a two-time, 246 employee-direct supervisor matched survey, this research discovers that working from home facilitates employee creativity through enhanced job autonomy and temporal leadership positively moderates this relationship. Although the research results do not support the hypotheses relevant to working from home hindering employee creativity through increased job demands, this research invites scholars to further analyze the specific job demands accompanied by working from home to reexamine the context that may support the notion that "working from home hinders employee creativity.
