การทดสอบโมเดลความสัมพันธ์เชิงสาเหตุของความคิดสร้างสรรค์ในงานที่ใช้หรือไม่ใช้ความสุขในสถานที่ทำงานเป็นตัวแปรส่งผ่าน / วิมพ์วิภา วิทยารมภ์ = Testing causal models of work creativity with or/without happiness in workplace as a mediator
The purposes of this research were 1) to validate a causal model of work creativity with the influence from perceptions of the work environment. 2) to study and to compare the validity of two causal models of work creativity which are causal model of work creativity without happiness in workplace as a mediator (model A) and causal model of work creativity with happiness in workplace as a mediator (model B). The research sample consisted of 545 employees working for the organization for 1 year or more in a variety of functions and departments. These organizations represent a number of industries in Bangkok metropolitan region. Research instruments are 1) the assessing perceptions of the work environment for work creativity and 2) the assessing happiness in workplace. The data were analyzed by using descriptive statistics, Pearson’s product moment correlation, confirmatory factor analysis, and LISREL analysis. The findings are as follows: 1. The validity of causal model of work creativity without happiness in workplace as a mediator (model A) fits the empirical data. (χ2 = 17.451, df = 13, p = .180, RMSEA = .024, GFI = .994, AGFI = .974, χ2/df = 1.342) 2. Causal model of work creativity with happiness in workplace as a mediator (model B) (χ2 = 58.755, df = 47, p = .117, RMSEA = .021, GFI = .987, AGFI = .963, χ2/df = 1.250) was better fit than model A. 3. The perceptions of the work environment had positive indirect effects on work creativity. Such effects were partial mediated by happiness in workplace. (β = .38, p < .01)
