Abstract
Given that creativity and innovation is a sine qua non for any living organism, the calls for increasing research has got momentum in this landscape. The present study attempts to scrutinise the impact of creative self-efficacy (CSE) and creative self-identity (CSI) on employees' creative process engagement (CPE) as well as innovative behaviour (IB). Deductive reasoning approach was followed and data were collected using self-administered and other administered survey methods from small and medium enterprises listed in the SME foundation of Bangladesh. The current study used structural equation modelling, SmartPLS3, to estimate the results. The results reveal that the association of CSE and CSI with IB is not supported (p > 0.05). In contrast, the relationship between CSI and CPE, CSE and CPE, CPE and IB are statistically significant. The study advances the current literature by providing additional insights into the impact of CSE and CSI on employees' CPE and on IB.
