  • Abstract
    Using a sample of 403 technical professionals from 129 Chinese companies in 28 cities, we found that (1) comparing with supervisors, work support from coworkers may have potentially long-lasting effects on creativity, (2) intrinsic motivation partially mediated the contribution of work support from coworkers to technical professional creative ability. We discuss implications of these results for research and practice.
