We empirically explored how creative self-efficacy acts as a mediator in the relationship between knowledge sharing and employee innovation and examined the moderating effects of job satisfaction on this relationship. Matched supervisor-subordinate pairs (N = 274) completed a survey. First, subordinates completed measures of their knowledge sharing, creative self-efficacy, and innovation. Then, the supervisors of these employees assessed their subordinates' responses in terms of innovation. Results showed that knowledge sharing and creative self-efficacy were positively related to employee innovation and that creative self-efficacy mediated the effects of both knowledge sharing and innovation. Finally, job satisfaction enhanced the relationship between creative self-efficacy and employee innovation. We have extended the existing research on individual innovation and we suggest several managerial implications in line with this.
