ABSTRACT
Creativity is a fundamental feature of human intelligence that cannot be replaced by artificial intelligence (AI) even in the fourth industrial revolution era and is now considered to be one of the most important competencies in recruiting new employees. Despite the important role of creativity in employment and entrepreneurship, research on the relationship among creativity, employment, and entrepreneurship is still lacking in Korea. Therefore, in this study, we investigated the mediating effect of creativity on the influence of CSE on entrepreneurship and job stress. The results of the study are as follows. First, CSE had a positive effect on creativity. Second, creativity had a positive effect on entrepreneurial intention(EI). Third, the relationship between CSE and EI was mediated by creativity. However, the mediating effect of creativity on the relationship between CSE and the job stress was not found.
