隨著資訊科技的快速發展，創造力是有利於公司企業在市場中增加競爭力，因此，企業也逐漸重視各部門創造力及人才。為求進步、創新亦會使員工的壓力增大，然而，當員工的工作壓力大到無法負荷時，則可能會對創造力的產出造成揠苗助長的結果。因此，工作壓力及創造力之間的關係將會是本研究欲探討的重點。
在過去的相關研究中大多認為壓力與創造力是負向影響的關係，意即當壓力越大時創造力產出則會減少。本研究將加入領導幽默即員工多元經歷兩個調節變數，視其二者是否能調節減弱壓力與創造力之間的負向影響，藉此降低壓力，提升創造力的產出。
本研究採用發放問卷的量化分析研究，共回收233份有效問卷。由結果顯示：(一) 工作壓力對員工創造力呈現顯著的負向影響關係；(二) 領導幽默及員工多元經歷皆具有調節效果，其二者皆可減弱工作壓力對員工創造力的負向影響。本文將根據研究結果做進一步的解釋及建議。

With the rapid development of information technology, creativity is beneficial for companies to increase their competitiveness in the market, therefore, companies are gradually focusing on creativity and talents in various departments. However, when the work pressure is too much for the employees to bear, it may lead to the result that the creativity may be overdone. Therefore, the relationship between work stress and creativity will be the focus of this study.
Most of the previous studies have suggested that stress and creativity are negatively related, meaning that creativity decreases when stress is higher. In this study, two moderating variables of leadership humor, i.e., employees' diverse experiences, were included to see if they could moderate the negative effect between stress and creativity, thereby reducing stress and increasing creativity.
In this study, quantitative analysis of questionnaires was used, and a total of 233 valid questionnaires were collected. The results show that: (1) work stress has a significant negative effect on employee creativity; (2) leadership humor and employee diversity experiences have moderating effects, both of which can weaken the negative effect of work stress on employee creativity Influence. This article will make further explanations and suggestions based on the research results.
