Research Article
In recent years, scholars put increasing emphases on the importance of multilevel factors impacting individual creativity. However, the multilevel perspective of creativity remains theoretical speculations. There are few empirical studies about creativity from the multilevel perspective. The purpose of this study, based on Amabile’s motivational synergy model and theory of organizational creativity, was to explore the impact of task motivation and organizational innovative climate on adult education teachers’ creative teaching performance. A total of 1091 samples from 135 adult education organizations were collected. Using hierarchical linear modeling for data analysis, results indicated that intrinsic motivation and extrinsic motivation both had positive impact on creative teaching performance. Organizational innovative climate also had a positive impact on creative teaching performance. Implications and suggestions for research and practice are discussed.
