Abstract The mechanism of creative job requirement for employee creativity is one of the leading problems in the creativity research area. Based on the goal-setting theory and social information processing theory, we construct a moderated mediating model to investigate the mediating mechanism and boundary conditions of creative job requirement affecting employee creativity. An empirical research is conducted with a sample of 73 team leaders and 416 team members, exploring the effect of creative job requirement on employee creativity. The results show that job involvement positively mediates the relationship between creative job requirement and employee creativity, distributive justice positively moderates the relationship between creative job requirement and job involvement. The indirect effect of creative job requirement on employee creativity via job involvement was moderated by distributive justice. The conclusion of this study will help us understand the psychological mechanism of creative job requirement affecting employee creativity and provide guidance for managers to take effective measures to improve employee creativity.
