This study examined the relationship between job characteristics and creativity and also examined whether creative self efficacy moderates this relationship. Results demonstrated that job characteristics and its subscales (skill variety and autonomy) made significant contribution to creativity. Different from original hypotheses, other three job characteristics subscales (task identity, task significance, and feedback) were not found significantly related to participants¡¦ creativity and the hypothesized moderating effect of creative self efficacy on the relationship between job characteristics and creativity was not found. Implications about the findings and suggestions about further researches are discussed.
