In this paper, we examine the effects of psychological safety on employee creativity. We propose that the autonomous help seeking of employee serves as a mechanism reflecting how psychological safety affect individual creativity. We further argue that these relationships are moderated by the help seeking delay of employee. We developed a moderated mediation model to test our hypotheses. The results suggest that (1) there is a positive relationship between psychological safety and employee creativity,
( autonomous help seeking of employee mediated the relationship between psychological safety and employee creativity, (3) the indirect effect of psychological safety on employee creativity (via autonomous help seeking of employee) is weaker when the employee tend to delay in help seeking. The theoretical and practical implications of these findings are also discussed.
