Abstract There are some disagreements in the current research on the relationship between proactive personality and creativity.this study introduces the psychological mechanism of proactive personality on creativity from the perspective of knowledge integration intention.Combining regulatory focus theory with trait activation theory,this study introduces the variables of promotion regulatory focus and leader humility to explore the role in the process of subordinate related trait expression from a dual dyadic perspective.Through three-stage questionnaires,237 paired data were analyzed and the following conclusions were drawn: subordinates' proactive personality positively affects their creativity; subordinates' promotion regulatory focus plays a mediating role between subordinates' proactive personality and creativity; and leader's humility indirectly influences the relationship between subordinates' relevant traits and creativity by influencing subordinates' promotion regulatory focus,thus showing a mediated moderating effect.The results reveal the psychological mechanism of proactive personality on creativity from the knowledge integration perspective,and provide a reference for team leaders how to activate proactive subordinates to exert higher creativity.
