Creative Self-Efficacy Development and Creative Performance over Time
Tierney, Pamela; Farmer, Steven M.
Journal of Applied Psychology, v96 n2 p277-293 Mar 2011
Building from an established framework of self-efficacy development, this study provides a longitudinal examination of the development of creative self-efficacy in an ongoing work context. Results show that increases in employee creative role identity and perceived creative expectation from supervisors over a 6-month time period were associated with enhanced sense of employee capacity for creative work. Contrary to what was expected, employees who experienced increased requirements for creativity in their jobs actually reported a decreased sense of efficaciousness for creative work. Results show that increases in creative self-efficacy corresponded with increases in creative performance as well. (Contains 4 tables and 2 footnotes.)
