Innovation, and the creative thinking that provides basis for innovation, is of great value organizations. In this article we describe what needed people to think creatively, noting a complex, albeit voluntary, activity involving performance on certain types problems. The ways leaders influence peoples’ willingness engage in, ability solve, problems are then described. Leaders efforts must not only motivate work but also actively contribute problem-solving both by engaging followers in...
Effective teamwork in an initially leaderless group requires a high level of collective leadership emerging from dynamic interactions among members. Leader emergence is crucial topic leadership, yet it challenging to investigate as the problem context typically highly complex and dynamic. Here, we explore perception by means computational simulations whose assumptions parameters were informed empirical research human-subject experiments. Our agent-based model describes process planning. Each...
The relationship between size and performance of collaborative human small groups has been studied broadly across management, psychology, economics, sociology, engineering disciplines. However, empirical research findings on this question remain equivocal. Many the earlier studies centered human‐subject experiments, which inevitably involved many confounding factors. To obtain more theory‐driven mechanistic explanations linkage group performance, we developed an agent‐based simulation model...
Over the course of last thirty years, we have made substantial progress in our understanding creative problem-solving and performance. As is always case, however, research raises as many new questions answers. In present effort, examine key findings that emerged areas creativity including abilities, processes, thinking skills, personality, social interactions, work climate, environmental context. each area arising from prior research. Directions for future on performance are also discussed.
Leaders are often identified in empirical studies by either their position an organizationally defined hierarchy or survey responses, yet such methods conflate behavioral antecedents and outcomes with behaviors themselves. Furthermore, without external standard for comparison, it cannot be known to what extent differences leader assignment emergence between demographic other categories due biases the assessment, selection, training, rating processes. In this study, we propose ``interruption...
Conversational interruptions can carry negative connotations, yet prior research has consistently found positive associations between and attributions of leadership social status. In this study we investigate simultaneous speech---interruptions related behaviors---as a predictor leader emergence, relying on network perspective communication to account for dependencies among individuals. Using published data set, starting from two-stage least squares model, demonstrate that positively predict...
