The Relationship between Styles of Creativity and Managerial Skills Assessment
研究了美国管理者的创造力风格（适应型或创新型）与自我及他人对其管理技能评分的关系，发现适应型管理者倾向于低估自己，而创新型管理者的自我评分与他人评分一致。
This study examined the relationships between creativity style, as measured by the Kirton Adaption Innovation Inventory (KAI) and the self and other ratings on a 360‐ degree feedback instrument, the Management Skills Profile (MSP) among US managers. Results indicated that self‐reports of the use of managerial skills were related to the individual manager's creativity style, but the ratings by others were not. Adaptive managers, as defined by the KAI, were more likely to underrate themselves, while self‐ratings of innovative managers tended to concur with the ratings of others. Implications for helping managers understand discrepancies in self and others' ratings as a function of creativity style in a developmental context and directions for future research are discussed.
