Amabile, Teresa M.
- Abstract
Creativity in all fields, including business, flourishes under intrinsic motivation-- the drive to do something because it is interesting, involving, exciting, satisfying, or personally challenging. This article presents the Componential Theory of Organizational Creativity and Innovation, which defines the factors--including intrinsic motivation--that determine a person's creativity. This article also shows how the work environment can influence individual creativity.
