First, this paper will explore the impact mechanism of critical thinking and self-efficacy on employees' creativity; Secondly, from the perspective of self-cognition theory, this paper studies the mediating role of self-efficacy between critical thinking and employee creativity, and makes an empirical study to fill the literature gap. Thirdly, based on the dynamic theory, environmental uncertainty as an external situation variable is discussed to explore the adjustment effect, and how to strengthen the relationship between critical thinking and employee creativity; Finally, based on the theory of transformational leadership, this paper discusses the moderating effect of transformational leadership as an internal situational variable, and discusses how to strengthen the relationship between critical thinking and employee creativity.
