Abstract

This article systematically reviews and integrates empirical research that has examined the personal and contextual characteristics that enhance or stifle employee creativity in the workplace. Based on our review, we discuss possible determinants of employee creativity that have received little research attention, describe several areas where substantial challenges and unanswered questions remain, present a number of new research directions for theory building, and identify methodological improvements needed in future studies of creativity in organizations.

  • The other components of the componential theory have not received as much research attention as the motivation component.

    “This model has received some empirical support in terms of the role of its motivation component as a psychological mechanism underlying influences from the work environment on employees' creativity, though the other components have not received as much research attention as the motivation component (Shalley, Zhou, & Oldham 2004; Zhou & Shalley, 2010).”

  • The research-practice gap on cultural differences and creativity has led to repeated calls for greater research attention on cultural differences and creativity, especially on similarities and differences in creativity between the East and the West.

    “This significant research-practice gap has led to repeated calls for greater research attention on cultural differences and creativity (Anderson et al., 2004; Shalley et al., 2004; Zhou & Shalley, 2003), especially on similarities and differences in creativity between the East and the West (Morris & Leung, 2010).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
