“…Abbey and Dickson (1983), for example, showed that reward levels and achievement motivation are positively associated with the amount of innovations people initiate. Further, Paolillo and Brown (1978) demonstrated a positive association between innovation levels and rewards in a study of employees' ratings of the overall innovative output of their research and development (R&D) laboratory. Additionally, research on the connection between creativity and the chance to gain financial reward has suggested a positive link between the two (e.g., Woodman et al 1993), and most creativity scholars argue that there is a strong relationship between creativity and innovativeness (Cummings and O'Connell 1978).…”

“…For many years, empirical research has been showing that creativity is fostered in autonomous work environments (Pelz and Andrews 1966;Paolillo and Brown 1978;Bailyn 1985). According to Siegel and Kaemmerer (1978), ownership of work is an extension of autonomy and a critical driver of creativity.…”

Abstract. Proponents of agile methods claim that enabling, fostering and driving creativity is the key motivation that differentiates agile methods from their more traditional, beauraucratic counterparts. However, there is very little rigorous research to support this claim. Like most of their predecessors, the development and promotion of these methods has been almost entirely driven by practitioners and consultants, with little objective validation from the research community. This lack of validation is particularly relevant for SMEs, given that many of their project teams typify the environment to which agile methods are most suited i.e. small, co-located teams with diverse, blended skills in unstructured, sometimes even chaotic surroundings. This paper uses creativity theory as a lens to review the current agile method literature to understand exactly how much we know about the extent to which creativity actually occurs in these agile environments. The study reveals many gaps and conflict of opinion in the body of knowledge in its current state and identifies many avenues for further research.
