Crafting Creativity: How A Climate for Cooperation Fosters Creative Performance through Job Crafting

This study examines how a climate for cooperation is associated with creative performance in coworking spaces through job crafting and whether job control modifies these associations. Drawing on a sample of 153 coworking users, we test a moderated mediation model in which cooperative climate is related to four job crafting dimensions, which are in turn associated with creative performance. Results show that increasing structural resources, social resources, and challenging demands mediate the positive associations between cooperative climate and creativity. Job control amplifies the positive effects of cooperative climate on three job crafting behaviors. Findings clarify the micro-level associations between cooperation, proactivity, and creativity in coworking spaces.
