Boosting Indonesia’S Creative Industries: Identification of People’S Characteristics and Creative Behaviour

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to suggest an empirical model to assess personal characteristics and creative behaviour among creative workers in Indonesia’s creative industries. It is critical for people to do their best to ensure and realise that creativity is one of the most important elements in order to achieve high performance. Although a few previous studies have focused on the understanding of how the myriad of interacting potential creators can foster their performance, the characteristics and behaviour patterns of Indonesia’s creative workers are not well identified yet. Considering this, a new measure has been developed and evaluated with a group of creative workers (N = 220). This study presents data supporting the reliability (internal consistency) and validity (criterion and construction) of this multidimensional instrument. The results of factor analysis indicated a fivefactor solution. These factors demonstrated adequate internal consistency and correlations with the established measures of the Big-Five personality (e.g. the NEO-FFI of Costa & McCrae 1992). It was found that the most important elements determining the characteristics of creative people are enthusiasm, a low depression level, self-discipline, trust, and ideas.

The Influence of Creative Style Preference on Creative Behavior of Indonesia’ Creative Industry Workers

“…Creativity and innovation are not just vital features for organizations but also important for society economic development (Hitt, Ireland, Sirmon, & Trahms, 2011). Many studies had suggested that improving the creative performance of employees was an imperative stage if an organization wanted to achieve a competitive advantage in the dynamic society and technology (Amabile, 1988;Chen & Chang, 2013;Setiadi, Boediprasetya, &Wahdiaman, 2012). A number of approaches had been used to understand how creative workers shape the production of new ideas and the subsequent development of new ways based on their ideas.…”

Creativity-Relevant Personal Characteristics among Indonesia Creative Workers

“…Theresa Amabile has produced the most empirical research, exploring both personal characteristics and the interaction among people in the work environment. Other researchers considered the interaction process among workers and their personal and combined characteristics (Setiadi, Boediprasetya, & Wahdiaman, 2012;Hoban, 2002). Some authors considered the way groups interact to be the most important factor.…”
