The mechanism of the hotel employees’ creative performance need to be examined to extend fundamental effectiveness. Focused on the hotel employees, this study aims to investigate whether socio-cognitive mindfulness influences their creativity mediated through creative self-efficacy. Socio-cognitive mindfulness includes lower variables of novelty seeking, novelty producing, and engagement. The number of 215 cases was used for final analysis out of 240 cases surveyed. The results were analyzed using structural equation modeling. The study results indicate the hotel employees’ novelty seeking and engagement make a significantly positive influence on creative self-efficacy whereas novelty producing fails to make the impact. Novelty producing significantly influence their creativity whereas the other two lower variables fail to make the impact. Also, creative self-efficacy positively influences creativity. In addition, creative self-efficacy fully mediates the relationship between novelty seeking and engagement and creativity whereas it doesn’t mediate the relationship between novelty producing and creativity. Based on the study results, theoretical and practical implications have been discussed.
