Abstract Based on regulatory focus theory and through 573 valid data collected at three time points, this study explores the mechanism and boundary of the influence of technostress on employee creativity from the self-regulatory perspective of “harm avoidance” and “profit seeking” by using regression analysis and bootstrapping analysis methods. The results show that there is no direct relationship between the technostress and employee creativity. Prevention work regulatory focus and promotion work regulatory focus play a negative and positive mediating role in the relationship between the technostress and employee creativity. When error management climate is low, the technostress is more likely to trigger prevention work regulatory focus, and then hinder employee creativity. When error management climate is high, the technostress is more likely to trigger promotion work regulatory focus, and then enhance employee creativity. Specially, as error management climate perception changes from low to high, the influence of technostress on employee creativity has changed from “harm avoidance” to “profit seeking”.
