Collaborating across cultures can potentially increase creativity owing to access diverse ideas and perspectives, but this benefit is not always realized. One reason for that the conflict arises in intercultural creative collaboration a double-edged sword, so how it managed matters. In research, we examine gender of collaborating dyads influences link between (task relationship) effectiveness. Through two studies (a laboratory study field survey), found task has negative effect on men...
When the social fabric of organizations limits individual autonomy, new ideas are needed that satisfy a person’s will as well constraints imposed by context. To explain when people achieve this synthesis and display creativity under low job we examine influence their action-state orientation. The theory action versus state orientation contrasts two responses faced situation conflicts with will. An action-oriented response entails readily disengage from processing initiate goal-striving,...
Despite women having made significant progress in the modern workforce, gender gaps are still evident creative work. In this paper, we propose that, although and men equally capable of generating ideas, differences emerge during idea-selection stage. Specifically, compared with men, engage higher novelty avoidance idea selection—the degree to which one selects an that is less novel than most has generated. two laboratory studies a field survey involving professionals, found selection...
Do women champion new ideas at the workplace differently from men? What effects do their idea championing strategies have on extent that they are evaluated as creative? We proposed and found less likely than men to autonomously, i.e. proactively promote by bypassing organizational norms, rules, established procedures. Drawing "creative prototype model", we further argued effect of autonomous creativity evaluation depends both employee supervisor gender. Specifically, when supervisors negatively.
Although working across cultures is commonplace in the global economy, as a field, we know little about how gender influences intercultural collaborations. This study investigates role of dyadic collaboration, examining and cultural composition dyads interact with task conflicts to predict collaborative creativity. According social dominance theory research, men are more assertive, tend show intergroup bias, strongly oriented toward conflict competition than women. Thus, theorize that when...
Research findings on how managers can effectively guide the innovation process are inconclusive. Drawing upon leadership literature and self-determination theory, this study argues that involvement of in is a double-edged sword because it often undermines agency innovator. On one hand, promote contribute to success by displaying transformational leadership. other who display tend also exert management. As form external control, management interferes innovator’s impedes success. To...
Innovation typically involves generating multiple novel ideas and selecting the most promising one for implementation. In this research, we examine how gender influences way innovators select which idea to pursue. We theorize that although women are equally capable as men in highly ideas, they less likely than pursue implement their ideas. This effect is part because disproportionately risky tend have lower risk preference men. Women might also more concerns about potential social backlash...
