“…The current study contributed to the practices of stimulating employee creativity in a green manner, especially in the public sector. Since green strategy is highly recognized in modern organizations, our findings validate the importance of managing green behaviors throughout the public sector and can be generalized to other sectors that require environmentally oriented attitudes and behaviors in a creative way (e.g., Cai et al, 2020 ; Arici and Uysal, 2021 ). Moreover, relating to our highlighted green trainings in public sectors, it theoretically extends the current literature by suggesting that contemporary business organizations update managerial philosophy to invest more effort into training employees who are green creative (e.g., Pinzone et al, 2019 ).…”

Despite accumulated evidence from previous studies that green creativity is highly emphasized in various industries, limited research has been conducted in the context of public sectors. Drawing on the dynamic componential model of creativity and innovation in organizations, this paper aims to propose and sequentially test the relationship between green training and employees’ green creativity through green values and green intrinsic motivation. Based on the data collected in Chinese public sectors (N = 464) at two different time points, the results indicate that green training is positively related to green creativity. Moreover, this relationship is sequentially mediated by green values and green intrinsic motivation. The results in our study advance the emergent literature on green human resource management in the public sector for the practical applications of training and creativity in terms of green management.

“…By inspiring employees to think problems in new ways, stimulating employees to explore new knowledge and engage in green creativity activities, green transformational leadership is conducive to develop new ideas in the green innovation process (Chen & Chang, 2013;Singh et al, 2020). Moreover, existing studies have confirmed that green transformational leadership plays an important role in adopting environmental proactive strategies, achieving green innovation and improving environmental performance (Arici & Uysal, 2021;Singh et al, 2020).…”

Although external environmental pressure has been recognized as an important driver of green innovation, the literature ignores its effect on radical green innovation. Combining theories of organizational learning and transformational leadership, this study explores the relationships among external environmental pressure, exploratory green learning, and radical green innovation, and analyzes the moderating role of green transformational leadership. Considering the political and economic factors in social network, this study focuses on the pressures of environmental regulatory and green market. Data are collected from 282 manufacturing firms in China's strategic emerging industries, hierarchical regression analysis and boostrapping are used to test hypotheses. The results reveal that environmental regulatory pressure and green market pressure have positive effects on exploratory green learning, and exploratory green learning has positive effects on radical green innovation. Exploratory green learning plays a full mediating role in the relationship between environmental regulatory pressure and radical green innovation, and partially mediates the relationship between green market pressure and radical green innovation. Moreover, green transformational leadership has a nonlinear moderating effect on the relationship between exploratory green learning and radical green innovation. This study opens avenues for understanding the relationship between external environmental pressure and raidcal green innovation, which enriches the literature on green innovation and offers practical implications for government and firms.

“…, 2019; Ward, 2004). This is surprising because the success of new ventures is often linked to differentiation and value creation emanating from an individual's capacity to be innovative and creative (Arici and Uysal, 2021; Stauffer, 2016). According to Morris and Kuratko (2002), creativity is the soul of entrepreneurship because it requires entrepreneurs to identify the patterns and trends that define opportunities.…”

“…Cognitive approaches to entrepreneurship focus on a person's creativity as a vital, yet under-explored antecedent of entrepreneurial intention (Esfandiar et al, 2019;Ward, 2004). This is surprising because the success of new ventures is often linked to differentiation and value creation emanating from an individual's capacity to be innovative and creative (Arici and Uysal, 2021;Stauffer, 2016). According to Morris and Kuratko (2002), creativity is the soul of entrepreneurship because it requires entrepreneurs to identify the patterns and trends that define opportunities.…”

PurposeThis paper proposes and empirically assesses a social cognition conceptual model linking creativity (both artistic and scholarly), entrepreneurial personality traits, and entrepreneurial intention. Specifically, the study draws on social cognition perspectives to investigate the potential role of creativity as a mechanism underlying the relationship between entrepreneurial personality traits and entrepreneurial intention.Design/methodology/approachUsing a sample of 194 creative nascent entrepreneurs, the study tests the proposed model using Partial Last Squares Structural Equations Modeling (PLS-SEM).FindingsThe study reveals that, among entrepreneurial personality traits, only risk-taking propensity is positively related to entrepreneurial intention. Interestingly, while artistic creativity seems to enhance entrepreneurial intention, scholarly creativity is found to stimulate a more cautious approach toward venturing. The findings also reveal that scholarly creativity fully mediates the relationship between tolerance for ambiguity and entrepreneurial intention.Originality/valueThe study makes an original contribution by showcasing how both artistic and scholarly creativity developed in the same socially situated cognitive environment can differentially influence decision-making and the relationship between entrepreneurial personality traits and entrepreneurial intention, thus contributing to social cognition perspectives and research in entrepreneurship.
