<jats:p> As an important source of organisational innovation, employee creativity is considered by most scholars and practitioners as a must for contemporary organisations. In this vein, organisational members should and must actively engage in generating new and valuable ideas. Various scholars have emphasized the value of identifying and understanding the factors contributing to employee creativity. The purpose of this research is therefore to investigate the factors fostering individual creativity and organisational innovation. To this end, we have developed a conceptual model and tested it with an empirical study based on a sample of 307 participants from Canadian organisations. The results reveal that knowledge sharing and person–organisation fit have positive impacts on individual creativity. Furthermore, personal trust moderates the relationship between business ethics and individual creativity. The results also show that an initiative-friendly culture moderates the impact of individual creativity on organisational innovation.These findings offer a new framework for developing further studies on creativity and innovation, as well as important practical implications for managers. </jats:p>
