Abstract: |
| Drawing on uncertainty management theory, this study examines how procedural justice and interactional justice interact to influence employee creativity through creative role identity in uncertain contexts. Multi-source data were collected from 218 supervisor-subordinate dyads from companies located in multiple Chinese cities. We found that procedural justice and perceived uncertainty moderated the direct effect of interactional justice on creative role identity and the indirect effect of interactional justice on employee creativity via creative role identity. The direct and indirect effects were strongest when employees perceived both high procedural justice and high uncertainty. We controlled for the mediating process of employee psychological safety in building and testing the hypotheses. The theoretical and practical implications are discussed. |
