摘要

Based on the organismic dialectical metatheory and empirical research approach, this study explores the relationship between creative situation and creative behavior systemically. The main findings are as follows: the opinion is true which is proposed by organismic dialectical metatheory that the needs and the motivation mediate the situation and the behavior; the supports from leaders and richness of the resources are primary components in creative situation; the satisfaction of self-determination and competence is the core of creative activity; enjoyment is the direct cause for creative behavior, and pursuit for challenge is the most important indirect cause.
