“…The CAQ offers a proxy for participants' experience and knowledge, thereby allowing me to account for participants' depth and breadth of knowledge. Dutcher and Rodet (2020a, 2020b) verify for individuals and groups that deeper and broader knowledge, as measured by the CAQ, correlates with greater creativity in the CUT.…”

“…Existing scholarship suggests that performance in convergent‐thinking tasks, which involve a search for a single, correct answer, goes hand in hand with divergent thinking in the creative problem‐solving process (Cropley, 2006; Dutcher & Rodet, 2020b; Nielsen et al, 2008). A loose conceptualization would be to link divergent thinking to the ideation process and convergent thinking to a filtering process that winnows bad ideas from a crop of good ones (Cropley, 2006).…”

“… 2 2 Dutcher and Rodet (2020a) study team diversity based on knowledge or experience, finding that novel combinations of individual experience lead to more creativity in a divergent‐thinking task. Dutcher and Rodet (2020b) explore organizational learning and find that teams working face‐to‐face are able to transfer creative thinking, but teams that use a “blackboard” approach to teach each other creative thinking do not exhibit organizational learning. …”

Creative jobs make up an increasingly large part of the economy. While contextual factors of work design have been shown to affect job performance in various settings, their impact on creative tasks is understudied. This study uses a controlled laboratory experiment to understand the impact of time constraints and goal setting on creativity. I find that reducing task constraints by making time constraints ambiguous increases the creativity of ideas without undermining their quantity, relative to the baseline. I also find that a nonbinding quantity‐oriented goal increases the quantity of ideas without reducing creative quality. Likewise, a nonbinding creativity‐oriented goal increases the creativity of ideas without decreasing the number of ideas. Results indicate that work design is an important factor when developing strategies for cultivating creativity, and managers have several tools at their disposal.

“…Questions of whether creativity is an innate tendency or an acquired adroitness have not been definitively answered. Nascent evidence suggests creativity is a function of the variety of one's personal experience and can be learned (Dutcher & Rodet, 2020a, 2020b; Feinstein, 2006, 2011; Rubenson & Runco, 1992). Evidence has also been found connecting creativity to a propensity to think reflectively (Corgnet et al, 2016).…”

The wellspring of creativity? Using divergent‐thinking tasks to understand creative characteristics

Creativity and innovation go hand in hand, and understanding sources of creativity will expand organizational innovative capacity. This study explores the impact that characteristics have on creativity using divergent‐thinking experiments. I hypothesize that their influence stems from their effect on the experiences individuals acquire throughout life based on preferences, opportunities, and constraints. I find that gender, socioeconomic background, and exposure to other cultures are associated with personal experiences. In turn, experience is positively associated with greater creativity. I also explore creative style and its impact on creativity and find that having an experimental creative style positively correlates with creativity.
