Abstract
Drawing on the ability–motivation–opportunity (AMO) framework, this study investigated how and when high-involvement human resource management practices (HI HRM practices) influence worker creativity. Using a sample of 3316 production-line workers from 240 manufacturing companies in South Korea, we found that (a) a bundle of HI HRM practices was positively related to individual worker creativity, (b) learning orientation strengthened the positive relationship between the HI HRM practices and worker creativity and (c) intrinsic job motivation mediated these relationships. Such findings suggest that the HI HRM practices have significant cross-level impact on individual intrinsic job motivation and creativity at work.
