Article - Sparking creativity using extrinsic rewards: A self-determination theory perspective Volume 32, Isu 4, halaman 923–938
The relationship between extrinsic rewards and creativity has been subject to ongo-
ing debate within the human resource management and creativity literatures. More
research on the mechanisms and boundary conditions has been called for. In this
study, using 187 employee-supervisor dyads in an electronics manufacturing
company, we investigated how and when creativity-contingent extrinsic rewards
(CER) may foster creativity among manufacturing employees. Drawing on self-
determination theory, we hypothesized, and found that employee intrinsic
motivation mediated the relationship between CER and employee creativity. This
relationship was the strongest when employees rated their leader-member
exchange (LMX) as high. The findings reveal the important role of CER in guiding
manufacturing employees' intrinsic motivation and stimulating creativity. The iden-
tification of LMX as a moderator uncovers crucial boundary conditions of this rela-
tionship. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
