Abstract:The existing researches have largely neglected the creativity of the new generation migrant workers. This study analyzed the new generation migrant workers through the 803 questionnaires, verifying the effect of new generation migrant workers’ educational level on their creativity. Study 1 explored how new generation migrant workers’ educational level impact their creativity through the mediating role of the core self-evaluation, study 2 proposed that the mediating role of core self-evaluation can be divided into the ability of knowledge integration and creative personality, in such way that the ability of knowledge integration played the true mediating role between new generation migrant workers’ educational level and their creativity, while creative personality moderated this mediating role. This study provides theoretical support and practical inspiration for exploring the creativity of the new generation migrant workers.
