Abstract: This research predicted 168 employees' creative performances using general causality orientations. We surveyed employees across different enterprises and discussed the influence of autonomous orientation, controlled orientation and impersonal orientation on employees' creative performances, affect and vitality. The results showed that autonomy orientation and impersonal orientation were significantly correlated with creative performance, but controlled orientation was insignificantly correlated with creative performance. Differences were found in work behaviours within general causality orientations. In addition, well-being was examined as mediators between general causality orientations and creative performance. Explanations, results and directions for future research are offered.

Keywords: general causality orientations; creative performance; affect; vitality; well-being; self-determination theory; autonomous orientation; controlled orientation; impersonal orientation; employee performance; work behaviour; employee behaviour. (search for similar items in EconPapers)
