“…As such, participants were asked to write down their strategies for achieving the goals given to them thereby allowing for a consideration of the processes participants engaged in as they played the game. As is common practice when examining complex, ambiguous tasks, these strategies were assessed for creativity vis-a-vis the quality and originality of the written responses (Baughman & Mumford, 1995;Redmond, Mumford & Teach, 1993). Strategy quality was defined as a logical, coherent, and viable approach to improving research productivity at the university.…”

“…Similarly, in processing overload situations leaders may not have the time to carefully assess restrictions which can be used in framing the problem. If there is insufficient time to correctly frame the problem, task performance is negatively influenced (Baughman & Mumford, 1995). If leaders can more quickly and accurately learn to identify contingencies and restrictions and causes and goals when faced with processing overload, it may help with the number of these types of errors that are made.…”

“…In essence, leaders need to be able to identify contingencies and restrictions they can control or remove . It is the careful assessment of restrictions that might be used to eliminate certain decision options (Baughman & Mumford, 1995). In framing a PDF Created with deskPDF PDF Writer -Trial :: http://www.docudesk.com problem, accurately identifying restrictions also directs attention to engage in the search for significant constraints that must be overcome to achieve a successful result to a proposed solution (Mumford, Baughman, Threlfall, Supinski, & Costanza, 1996;Mumford, Supinski, Baughman, Costanza, & Threlfall, 1997).…”

Errors will inevitably occur when one is involved in decision making tasks with complex, illdefined problems. Qualitative research on this topic has illuminated the complex nature of problems faced by many leaders and organizations as they make decisions. Although this research has answered many questions about the nature of errors, empirical research on errors among leaders remains scarce. To further explore this topic, 170 undergraduates were assigned to one of five work conditions and asked to read three cases with initiating structure problems and three cases with consideration problems while taking on the role of the CEO in the scenario.Errors committed by leaders were examined to answer questions about how work conditions influence errors committed. Additionally, how these errors influence performance outcomes was also examined. Results indicated that work conditions paired with errors made by leaders influenced levels of performance. Under certain conditions, most notably process overload, errors led to negative performance. We also discuss the implications of these findings for understanding the influence of work conditions on errors committed and their combined influence on performance outcomes.

“…Between these sub-processes have been identified: problem finding, problem formulation, and problem redefinition (Mumford, Baughman, Threlfall, Supinski & Costanza, 1996), the divergent thinking (the process of generating many alternative ideas), the process of forming idea combinations through random or chance-based processes (Simonton, 1988), the process of reorganizing information (Baughman & Mumford, 1995;Sternberg & Davidson, 1995), perception and information encoding (Mumford, Baughman, Supinski & Maher, 1996), and using heuristics (Langley, Simon, Bradshaw & Zytkow, 1987). …”

In the present psychology-informed literature review we address some aspects of the nature of creativity from cognitive and confluence perspectives. The authors begin by discussing models of creativity offered by cognitive and confluence approaches, focusing on the transition from univariate to multivariate models. The article explores what these literatures suggest about factors that can influence creativity, including cognitive conative and environmental ones. The article goes on to present the overlaps and distinctiveness between creativity and innovation and the vexed question of the evaluation of creativity exploring two contrasting stances of psychometric and componential approaches. The review concludes by acknowledging the complexity of the phenomenon of creativity explored here mainly through cognitive and confluence lenses touching on psychometric and social-personality approaches, and recognizes the potential of other lenses in psychology such as psychodynamic, humanistic and evolutionary, for understanding creativity.Keywords: creativity, cognitive, confluence, complexity. Received La naturaleza de la creatividad: perspectivas cognitivas y confluencia ResumenEn la presente revisión de la literatura acerca de la psicología informativa abordamos algunos aspectos de la naturaleza de la creatividad desde perspectivas cognitivas y de confluencia. Los autores comienzan hablando de modelos de creatividad obtenidos por enfoques cognitivos y de confluencia, centrándose en la transición de modelos univariados a multivariados. El artí-culo explora en la literatura que se sugiere acerca de los factores que pueden influir en la creatividad, incluyendo la cognitiva conativa y la relacionada al medio ambiente. Luego presentamos las similitudes y diferencias entre la creatividad y la innovación, y la controvertida cuestión acerca de la evaluación de la creatividad, explorando dos posturas contrapuestas; los enfoques psicométricos y componenciales. Esta revisión concluye reconociendo la complejidad del fenómeno de la creatividad explorado aquí principalmente a través de una mirada cognitiva y de confluencia, tocando los enfoques psicométricos y sociales de la personalidad, y reconoce el potencial de otras miradas de la psicología, como la psicodinámica, la humanistica y la evolucionaria, para entender la creatividad.
