Like all other human behaviors, creativity must be examined by considering both personal and situational influences. Values alignment provides a suitable theoretical perspective to investigate the congruence between persons and organizations in the domain of creativity. However, few studies have examined the effects values have on creative behavior. Although the majority of these studies have identified a positive relationship between values alignment and creativity, It is suggested that congruent individuals are less likely to be creative. The current study will examine the relationship between values alignment and employees’ self-rated creativity in the Egyptian context. The paper aims to discuss these issues.
