    Abstract

    Integrating self-determination theory and self-efficacy theory, we investigated creative deviance (Mainemelis, 2010), the violation of a managerial order to stop working on a new idea. Result from 138 matched data within a 3-month time-lagged survey supported that intrinsic motivation and creative self-efficacy mediate the effect of autonomy on creative deviance. We also found that intrinsic motivation on the banned ideas is the dominant mediator. Finally we tested indirect effect of intrinsic motivation in the condition of perceived organizational support for creativity in both stages of mediation. The results supported the hypotheses. We discussed the theoretical and practical implication of these findings in the working team context.
