“…As with fixation effects in problem solving (Smith & Blankenship, 1989) and recall (Smith & Vela, 1991), time off the task ("incubation") might resolve these problems because during off-task time activation of earlier ideas may decline. Indeed, there is some evidence that short breaks during brainstorming enhance performance considerably and prevent the usual sharp decline ofperformance over time (Paulus et al, 2002). SIAM versus the matrix model.…”

“…In this article, our aim is to review and integrate the research literature on group ideation (see for earlier reviews: Lamm & Trommsdorff, 1973;Paulus, Dugosh, Dzindolet, Coskun, & Putman, 2002;Stroebe & Diehl, 1994). Much of the early research has considered social-motivational factors, such as social comparison processes, evaluation apprehension, and free riding (e.g., Stroebe & Diehl, 1994).…”

A model called search for ideas in associative memory (SIAM) is proposed to account for various research findings in the area of group idea generation. The model assumes that idea generation is a repeated search for ideas in associative memory, which proceeds in 2 stages (knowledge activation and idea production), and is controlled through negative feedback loops and cognitive failures (trials in which no idea is generated). We show that (a) turn taking (production blocking) interferes with both stages of the process; (b) ideas suggested by others aid the activation of problem-relevant knowledge; and (c) cognitive failures are important determinants of brainstorming persistence, satisfaction, and enjoyment. Implications for group decision making and group recall are discussed.

“…A co-worker's creativity can be influenced through social group comparisons as well as social cognitive processes. By way of social comparison, group members -observing each other's creative output and motivated by intergroup or intragroup rivalrymay try to match the accomplishments of high performing co-workers (Paulus et al, 2002). Creative co-workers can also serve as role models by demonstrating creative behaviors for others to observe and imitate based on an element of social cognitive theory termed observational learning in which employees gain skills and develop strategies that enhance their capacity to be creative (Bandura, 1986;Zhou, 2003).…”

Corporate Ethical Values, Group Creativity, Job Satisfaction and Turnover Intention: The Impact of Work Context on Work Response

et al. 2010

A corporate culture strengthened by ethical values and other positive business practices likely yields more favorable employee work responses. Thus, the purpose of this study was to assess the degree to which perceived corporate ethical values work in concert with group creativity to influence both job satisfaction and turnover intention. Using a self-report questionnaire, information was collected from 781 healthcare and administrative employees working at a multi-campus education-based healthcare organization. Additional survey data was collected from a comparative convenience sample of 127 sales and marketing employees working for a variety of firms operating in the south-central United States. The results indicated that group creativity and corporate ethical values were positively related, and that both variables were associated with increased job satisfaction. Conversely, corporate ethical values and job satisfaction were associated with decreased turnover intention. Sales managers should create work cultures that precipitate increased ethical values and group creativity, and suggestions about how they may institutionalize these factors are provided.

“…Finally, recall of exposed ideas was related to enhanced idea generation. These results are consistent with the social/cognitive influence model of group brainstorming (Paulus, Dugosh, Dzindolet, Putman, & Coskun, 2002). …”

“…Most brainstorming research has focused on social factors in the productivity gap between interactive and nominal groups (see Paulus, Dugosh, Dzindolet, Putman, & Coskun, 2002). However, researchers have recently begun to investigate cognitive factors as well, in particular the extent to which idea exchange influences idea generation (Dugosh, Paulus, Roland, & Yang, 2000;Nijstad, Diehl, & Stroebe, 2003).…”
