Emotional and informational support from different sources and employee creativity.

Madjar, Nora
Journal of Occupational & Organizational Psychology; Mar2008, Vol. 81 Issue 1, p83-100, 18p, 3 Charts

This study examined relations between employee creativity and emotional and informational support provided by three sources: individuals in the primary work unit, other work-related individuals and non-work-related individuals. I also examined whether openness to experience moderated these relations. Results showed significant relations between creativity and emotional support from primary unit and other workrelated individuals, and informational support from primary unit and non-work-related individuals. Emotional support from non-work-related individuals had a stronger relation to creativity for employees low on openness to experience than for those high on openness. Implications of these results for organizational research and practice are discussed.

Alive and creating: the mediating role of vitality and aliveness in the relationship between psychological safety and creative work involvement

by Ronit Kark, Abraham Carmeli.
From Journal of Organizational Behavior. Chichester: Aug 2009. Vol. 30, Iss. 6; pg. 785

Abstract
Individual involvement in creative work is of crucial importance for organizations in a knowledge-based economy. This study examined how psychological safety induces feelings of vitality and how feelings of vitality impact one's involvement in creative work. We examined these relationships among 128 part-time graduate students who held managerial and non-managerial position in their work organizations. The results suggest that employees' sense of psychological safety is significantly associated with feelings of vitality (both collected at time 1), which, in turn, result in involvement in creative work (collected at time 2). We discuss the implications of these findings for both theory and practice. [PUBLICATION

Understanding the relationship between mood and creativity: A meta-analysis

Understanding the relationship between mood and creativity: A meta-analysis
Mark A Davis. Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes. New York: Jan 2009. Vol. 108, Iss. 1; pg. 25

Abstract
A meta-analysis of 62 experimental and 10 non-experimental studies was conducted to evaluate the positive-mood-enhances-creativity generalization. While the results demonstrate that positive mood enhances creativity, the strength of that effect is contingent upon the comparative or referent mood state (i.e., neutral or negative mood) as well as the type of creative task. Further, the pattern of effect sizes supports a curvilinear relationship between affective intensity and creative performance. In general, a contextual perspective of mood-creativity relations is supported. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
