This study aims to propose elaborative theoretical framework to assess factors that influences creativity. We combine (Teresa M. Amabile et al., 1996; Jothi & Hin, 2015; Lin & Liu, 2012; Yeh & Huan, 2017) models featuring work and its environmental related factors into one holistic framework to assess the antecedents and consequence of creativity. We propose two level mediation to assess the effect of environmental variables on innovation and motivations through creativity  as well as Job Stressors. Environmental factors included Leaders Behavior, Freedom, Resources, Social Support, Workload, Perceived Organizational Support, Person job fit, and Challenging work. Perceived Organizational Support was further affected by Organizational impediments, Supervisory encouragement, and Work group supports. These factors influences Job Stressors that include Challenge and Hindrance stressors, and work pressures in environment. These stressors further affect creativity as proposed by Zhang & Wee (2018). We also categorize creativity into Quantity and Quality as per Yeh & Huan, (2017). Empirical validity was established by conducting a survey of employees in high creativity sectors like IT, Educational and Advertisement. Result shows that among work and environmental factors, only Leaders Behavior, Perceived Organizational Support, and Challenging work significantly affect job stressors. On the contrary, job stressors significantly affect both Quantity and Quality of creativity. However, subsequent effect of creativity on innovation and motivation could not be established.

This study is based on the results of a survey research conducted by JobStreet Indonesia on its members, which has surprisingly found that more than 70% of employees lack clarity on the goals of their career. Drawing from the social exchange theory, employees tend to show positive work attitudes when they perceive that their organization paid attention to them. The objective of this study is to assess how significant the influence of Perceived Organizational Support (POS) is on career satisfaction, organizational commitment, and turnover intention. Besides organizational perspective, as stated by the social comparison theory, the way individuals perform both upward and downward comparisons could be expected to affect career satisfaction. Also, this research uses career commitment as a moderator variable that can strengthen or weaken the influence among variables, which is the employee’s commitment towards their organization and competitiveness within their respective work group. The research has found some interesting results. It was shown that there is no significant relationship between POS and career satisfaction, career satisfaction and turnover intention, organizational support and turnover intention, and both upward and downward social comparison and turnover intention. The moderating effects of career commitment were not proven. In comparison, all of the moderating effects of a competitive work group were proven together with the relationship between upward social comparison and turnover intention.
