“…In addition, a deemphasis on rules and procedures reduces the stress experienced by scientists in the work. While Peters, 1974, andManners, 1983 both note the benefits of moderate levels of stress, both also note that too much stress can have a detrimental effect on creativity.…”

By linking creativity enhancement constructs to motivation theory, this paper theorizes how research managers, by virtue of their relationship with research personnel, may engage in behaviour which stimulates creative effort. Proposed is that the stimulation of creativity results from a basic scientist experiencing self‐actualization needs. Self‐actualization becomes prepotent in part as a result of the research manager's effort to satisfy lower level and higher level needs of scientists. Research managers may help satisfy such needs by virtue of their linking pin function, by engaging in goal setting and task definition, and by acquiring needed resources. The specific needs of basic scientists are specified based on the characteristics of basic scientists; two are predominant:— 1. The scientist is a professional, exhibiting many of the characteristics of professionals. 2. The scientist is a creative individual who, when sufficiently motivated produces novel ideas, combines old ideas in a novel way, or applies knowledge of one field to another. By satisfying the particular needs aroused by professional norms and creative ability, the research manager hence may help satisfy the needs of basic scientists. Appropriate managerial behaviours are linked to creativity enhancement in a model depicting the mechanisms whereby scientists are so motivated. Hypotheses are proposed as a basis for future research in testing the model.

“…Various barriers can hinder innovation and creativity in the business environment. These may include resistance to change, a fear of failure, a lack of resources, and a rigid organizational culture (Peters, 2020). Organizations can overcome these barriers by fostering a supportive and inclusive culture that encourages risk-taking, providing resources for experimentation, and promoting cross-functional collaboration (Johnson, 2023).…”

The objectives were to define innovation and creativity, identify different forms of innovation, discuss the drivers and barriers to innovation and creativity, examine the role of technology in enabling innovation and creativity, explore strategies for fostering innovation and creativity, and highlight potential future trends and challenges. The research questions addressed the significance of innovation and creativity, the impact of different forms of innovation, the factors influencing innovation and creativity, the role of technology, and strategies for fostering innovation and creativity. Materials and Methods: The methodology involved a literature review and analysis of existing research and case studies. Findings: The findings revealed that innovation and creativity play a crucial role in the success of hospitality organizations. Technological advancements, service design, and process improvements were identified as key forms of innovation. Leadership support, organizational culture, and resistance to change were found to be important drivers and barriers. Technology was recognized as a significant enabler, with emerging technologies like artificial intelligence and virtual reality offering new possibilities. Strategies for fostering innovation and creativity included collaboration, cross-functional teams, and continuous learning. Implications to Theory, Practice and Policy: The study recommended that hospitality organizations prioritize innovation and creativity, invest in technology, cultivate a supportive organizational culture, and promote collaboration and continuous learning to stay competitive in the industry.
