In order to establish the intellectual identity of the organization, it is important for each organization to revitalize creative activity in the inside and attract the intellectual interests of the outside to the organization. This paper proposes the framework to support attracting the outside with transmitting the organizational intellect. We have developed models of organizational intellect ...

This trait is composed of 2 related but separable aspects, Openness to Experience and Intellect. On the basis of previous behavioral research (C. G. DeYoung, J. B. Peterson, & D. M.

We hypothesized that the positive relationship between Openness/Intellect and cognition might be attributable to more open people being more likely to engage in cognitively stimulating activities that are bene...
