Abstract

It is well documented that creativity is possible for most people. Having the potential for creativity does not necessarily mean that all people communicate or utilize creative thinking. The issue is potential versus actualization and communication of creativity. How to identify factors that connect to creativity and determine if current or future employees are creative pose interesting issues. Connections between the psychological constructs of intelligence, personality, intrinsic motivation and creativity would seem logical venues of study to identify creative thinking. However, the research remains inconclusive as to why some people excel in creativity and others do not. Identifying creative employees is important for employers in the future workplace to intentionally provide model thinking and stronger team productivity.
