Abstract
This study established research hypotheses and conducted empirical analysis to investigate the relationship between research autonomy, self-efficacy, knowledge sharing and job satisfaction and creativity. The 200 questionnaires were analyzed using the SPSS 22.0 statistical program. As a result, research autonomy and self-efficacy not only directly influenced positively on creativity, but also positively influenced on creativity through job satisfaction. In particular, self-efficacy was found to have the greatest influence on job satisfaction and creativity. However, knowledge sharing had a positive(+) effect on job satisfaction, but no effect on creativity. These findings suggest that in order to enhance creativity, it is necessary to prepare a plan to enhance research autonomy, self-efficacy, job satisfaction, and raise awareness about the possibility of creative performance creation through knowledge sharing.
