Using the lens of multi-theory and multi-level perspective based in an Asian emerging economy, the present study investigates the influence of psychological empowerment (PE) on creative process engagement (CPE) in a moderated mediation mechanism. The study collected cross-sectional data using the convenience sampling method from small and medium enterprises and used partial-least square based structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) for engendering the statistical estimates. The deductive reasoning approach was followed to frame the research design. The results revealed that psychological empowerment influences creative self-efficacy (CSE), and CSE affects CPE. However, the moderated mediation effect on CPE was not found supported. The study attests to roadmaps how the results contribute theoretically, academically, and empirically. Finally, the current research concludes by noting a few shortcomings to contribute and advance the knowledge in the future.
