Abstract The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between subfacets of creative process engagement and how these are moderated by proactivity and supervisor support. On the basis of self-reported data from 747 professional-level employees from a Dutch high-tech organization, we show the moderating effect of proactivity and supervisor support on different stages of the creative process, namely problem identification, information search, and idea generation. We find that proactivity positively and significantly moderates the relationship between the first two phases in the creative process. Supervisor support negatively and significantly moderates the relationship between the last two phases in the creative process.
