About this book

Even though it is increasingly clear that the work environment can facilitate or inhibit creative behavior in organizations, there is a lack of research investigating how individual differences influence this relationship. Christian Hoßbach contributes with his exploratory multi-method study to filling this gap in research by examining the impact that styles of problem-solving, gender, and other sources of individual differences exert on the perception of organizational climates for creativity. He shows that problem-solving style and gender influence how people perceive the work environment in which they feel most and least creative.
