In this study, we examine the relationship between department high-performance work systems (DHPWS) and employees' creative performance. Data are obtained from a sample of 335 employees in 74 departments in People's Republic of China. Results of hierarchical linear modeling reveal that DHPWS are positively related to employees' creative performance, and organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) partially mediates that relationship. Perspective taking, which represents a cognitive factor in which employees focus on others and adopt others' viewpoint in order to better understand their preferences and values, moderates the DHPWS-OCB relationship. However, perspective taking does not serve as a moderator between DHPWS and employees' creative performance. These findings shed new light on the mechanisms through which DHPWS influence employees' creative performance and contribute to the strategic HRM and creativity literature. We discuss implications of these results for research and practice.
