Rewarding creativity: when does it really matter?

چکیده
This study examined the possibility that the relation between extrinsic rewards (e.g., pay and recognition) and employee creativity varied as a function of two conditions: employee job complexity and employee cognitive style. Our results showed a positive relation between extrinsic rewards and creativity for employees with an adaptive cognitive style who worked on relatively simple jobs. We found a weak relation between rewards and creativity for employees with an innovative cognitive style who worked on complex jobs and a negative relation for those in the adaptive style/complex job and innovative style/simple job conditions. We discussed theoretical and practical implications of these findings. D 2003 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

متن کاملInnovation and Creativity: A Slogan, Nothing but a Slogan
For over 2,500 years, innovation was a contested idea. It became de-contested in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

Yet many writers on innovation continue to define innovation as creativity. Wh...
