- - - - PREDICTORS OF TEAM-LEVEL INNOVATION
        (HULSHEGER et al, 2009)
        
        studied antecedents of idea generation and implementation (creativity/innovation)
        
        goal interdependence was found to be the most influential team structural variable for innovation
        
        job-relevant diversity positively related to innovation; background diversity negatively related to innovation
        
        vision, support for innovation, task orientation, cohesion, internal/external communication positively related innovation
        
        team process variables are more imp. than team input variables (demographic)
- - - - HOW TO KILL CREATIVITY
        (AMABILE, 1998)
        
        autonomy increases intrinsic motivation and sense of ownership
        
        however, must have a clearly defined purpose determined collectively or top-down, agreed by the entire team, and remain meaningful
        
        encouragement fosters trust, respect and open communication
        
        supervisors should reward risk-taking, avoid harsh criticism of new ideas
        
        provide recognition when appropriate
        
        org culture should support collaboration and info sharing
        
        good failure = recognized quickly to avoid escalation of commitment and avoid repeating the same mistake #
      - time is critical resource needed for exploration and incubation
        
        "threshold of sufficiency"
        too much time = lose sense of urgency and motivation
        too little time = deadlines create pressure
        right deadlines = increase adrenaline and challenge
      - HR needs to match ppl to the right assignments
        
        must play to their skills and provide stretch opps
        
        must be challenges, but not bored or overwhelmed
        
        diverse teams can enhance creativity
        
        don't overdo monetary rewards (feel controlled) or underdo them (feel used and under-appreciated)
