Abstract
Creativity is a complex construct often defined as requiring the components of both novelty and usefulness. So how can organizations and managers activate both novelty and usefulness in encouraging creativity in the workplace? Broadly defined, motivation is a set of psychological processes that directs, energizes, and sustains action (Mitchell and Daniels 2003). People may be moved to action by several different kinds of motivations. Researchers have explored the effects of extrinsic, intrinsic, and prosocial motivations on creativity often with inconsistent findings. Perhaps alone, these motivational drivers encourage a focus on only one of the two main components of creativity, but activated together, different motivations may more consistently encourage creativity through increasing both novelty and usefulness considerations.
