Creativity Behavior, Dimensions of Creativity, Innovation in organizationsRésumé
This paper has as a main purpose to explore the major links between creative behaviors and innovation in organizations. In fact, creative behaviors are considered as the most important factor to generate innovation. So as to investigate more profoundly on this topic, we first identified the most important definitions of the organizational creativity behaviors, in the meantime, we were able to tackle the main creativity standards and the relationship between creativity and the individual’s social identity. Then, we pointed out the individual creativity and the group creativity and went into these two main typologies of organizational creativity, and in this frame; we then presented the model proposed by Woodman et al, (1993). After this, we studied the three-dimensional model proposed by Amabile (1988), which contains the 3 main dimensions of creativity that lead to innovation, namely: resources, skills and techniques, and finally motivation. Amabile’s model led us to more understand how the intersection of the tree dimensions cited above could enhance creativity. Based on this, we were able to propose as a result a model linking creativity and innovation in organizations.
Through this paper, we intend to present to the organizations and the managers the specific aspects of creative behaviors that are crucial and important to attain innovation in organizations successfully.
