A Study of the Influencing Mechanism of HRM Strength on Employees' Creativity: Based on the Dual Intermediary Tests of Ability and Willingness

Abstract

Abstract: The importance of innovation to modern enterprises is self-evident. The employees’ creativity is the source of corporate innovation. Starting from the idea of laying strength on both of the content and the process and by integrating the two perspectives of social interaction and psychological factors, this paper makes use of 234 pieces of multiple time-point matching data to discuss the dual intermediary transfer mechanism between the strength of human resources management and the employees’ creativity. The results show that firstly, the strength of human resources management has a positive impact on the employee-oriented socialization strategies and the affective commitments; secondly, the employee-oriented socialization strategies and the affective commitments are playing a dual intermediary role between the strength of human resources management and the creativity; and thirdly, there is no significant difference between the intermediary role of the employee-oriented socialization strategies and the affective commitments.

Key words: the strength of human resource management, creativity, employee-oriented socialization strategy, affective commitment, dual intermediary
