How much creative potential is expressed at work?

Different personality factors drive work and non-work creativity

“…That said, rather than discounting the role of Openness, the current study served more as an empirical demonstration that because creativity exists in different forms in distinct contexts such as work vs. non-work environments, one shall consider the personality-creativity relationship within its specific context and further, may try to bridge the gap between creative expression at work and outside of work (Runco, 2007;Runco et al, 2021Runco et al, , 2022; see also Beghetto, 2014 for a discussion of creative suppression and mortification in certain contexts). For instance, working professionals who are high on Openness (but low on Extraversion and/or Conscientiousness) and generally creative in their personal lives, may need to work more on expressing their creativity at work purposefully and diligently so as to translate their creative potential (e.g., divergent thinking capacity, the trait Openness) to actual creative performance and career success; on the other hand, supervisors are also recommended to pay more attention to the creative potential of those introverted employees and encourage the introverts to exhibit creativity more often via reward systems.…”

“…The results from this study shall encourage researchers to get more discerned when asserting or interpreting the personality-creativity relationship. Given the critical role of creativity in the human society and the lack of consensus on many issues in the field including the creative gap in different contexts ( Anderson et al, 2014 ; Whorton et al, 2017 ; Runco et al, 2021 , 2022 ), we call for more comparisons of the personality antecedents of creativity in different situations as well as in-depth examinations of possible interactions between those personal attributes and various work/life conditions.…”

Assessing Creativity in a Greek Sample: Reliability and Validity of Two Predictors and Two Criteria

“…Paek (2020) presented an overview. The CAAC used in the present research was adapted from an investigation of workplace creativity (Runco et al, 2022) and contained 35 questions. Example items: How often have you "found a way to work with people who have different expertise or background from your own?…”

“…Recall here that the version of the CAAC used in this investigation was adapted from of investigation of workplace creativity (Runco et al, 2022). For this reason, a decision was made to check reliability and validity in a subsample.…”

Формирование Структуры Креативного Потенциала Трудовых Ресурсов

“…На наш взгляд, креативный потенциал -это совокупность свойств, состояний и способностей человека, набор средств и приемов, применяемых в решении нестандартных задач, которые развиты на текущий момент посредством пребывания человека в среде (раскрытый потенциал) и могут быть раскрыты в ходе выполнения креативных задач (скрытый потенциал). Исследования M. A. Runco, A. Shepard, H. Tadik показали, что реализация на рабочем месте творческой деятельности, которая не инициировалась руководством организации, зависит от уровня образования, продолжительности стажа работы и восприятия того, что творчество является частью работы [13]. S. M. Khan, J. Abbas доказывают, что высокий индекс счастья сотрудника приводит к большей вовлеченности в творческий процесс [11].…”
