Convergent, Discriminant, and Incremental Validities of Person-Environment Fit Scale for Creativity in Predicting Innovative Behavior
Duan, Wenjie; Li, Yumei
Journal of Creative Behavior, v54 n3 p525-534 Sep 2020
This study examined the validity of a 14-item two-factor person-environment fit scale for creativity (PEFSC) to measure the personal and environmental components of creativity. A sample of 2,475 participants completed the PEFSC for evaluating the factor structure. For convergent, discriminant, and incremental validities, a subsample (N = 362) completed the creative self-efficacy scale, support for innovation subscale of the team climate inventory, and innovative behavior measure. Results indicated the two-factor correlated model showed a better goodness of fit than the one-factor model. Measurement invariance of PEFSC was observed across different genders and educational groups. Internal consistency reliabilities were satisfactory ([alpha] [greater than or equal to] 0.87). The personal dimension indicated stronger associations with creative self-efficacy than with support for innovation, whereas the environmental dimension was related more closely to support for innovation than to creative self-efficacy. Incremental validity was confirmed by significant and additional explanations from PEFSC in predicting innovative behavior. These results consolidated the application of person-environment fit theoretical framework in creativity research.
