ABSTRACT

Objective: To explore the relationship between creative self-efficacy and proactive behavior of medical staffs, and the mediating role of person-job fit between them. It provides countermeasures for strengthening the matching between medical staffs and work, improving the initiative of medical staffs in the context of major public health emergencies, and provides theoretical support for further highlighting the leading role during major public health emergencies. Methods: In July 2022, 855 medical staffs were investigated using the person-job fit scale, the creativity self-efficacy scale and the proactive behavior scale. Results: the creative self-efficacy of medical staffs are positively correlated with their proactive behavior, and the relationship between them is mediated by person-job fit. Conclusion: The higher the creative self-efficacy, the higher the degree of person-job fit, and the more active the medical staffs are in dealing with work.
