Abstract The generation after 1990s is gradually becoming the main force of enterprise employees. Meanwhile, the Protean Career Attitude has also become the most mainstream career development trend among the new generation employees. Then, can Protean Career Attitude of new generation employees promote Creativity in the workplace? With this question, we explore the influencing mechanism between them drawing on self-determination theory. Based on 251 valid sample data, the empirical results show that: Protean Career Attitude has a significant positive impact on both Need for Achievement and Creativity. Need for Achievement mediates the relationship between Protean Career Attitude and Creativity. Perceived Organizational Support reinforces the role of Need for Achievement in promoting Creativity; And Perceived Organizational support strengthens the indirect effect of Protean Career Attitude on Creativity through Need for Achievement. The conclusion of this study is of great significance to policy makers and enterprise managers, especially those enterprises with a high proportion of new generation employees.
