The impact of creativity at work on work-nonwork enrichment: the mediating role of meaningfulness at work
| Resumo: | The objective of this study was to understand the relationship between creativity and work-nonwork enrichment, having meaningfulness at work as a mediator. Most literature focus on the precedents of creativity, instead of its consequences, and since it can have major impact on the individual that performs it, it is a relevant topic to understand. We also decided to study the work-nonwork dynamic since most studies are related to work-family. Since people are having children later in life or not having them at all, we consider important to be more inclusive in our study. To access our hypothesis, we presented a questionnaire to 164 employees of one consultancy company. We discovered that creative behaviors at work can contribute to enrich the private life of the employee. Additionally, we also found out that meaningfulness at work mediates this relationship. |
