Abstract

RFrom the perspective of Conservation of Resources Theory, this study was conducted to explore the relationship between job insecurity and employees’ creativity, as well as the mediating role of knowledge hiding and the moderating role of task interdependence between job insecurity and employees’ creativity. We analyzed 180 samples from different industries in the Pan Pearl River Delta of Guangdong province, such as financial industry, manufacturing industry, internet industry and so on. The results indicated that job insecurity negatively predicted employees’ creativity, and knowledge hiding mediated the negative relationship between job insecurity and employees’ creativity. In addition, task interdependence moderated the relationship between task interdependence and knowledge hiding, which was weaker when task interdependence was high, and stronger when task interdependence was low. Furthermore, Bootstrap test showed that the mediating effect of knowledge hiding on the relationship between job insecurity and employees’ creativity was more salient when task interdependence was low.
