CHANGES IN THE WORK ENVIRONMENT FOR CREATIVITY DURING DOWNSIZING.
研究了一家大型高科技公司在重大裁员前后创造力工作环境的变化，发现裁员期间创造力和支持创造力的因素显著下降，但之后略有回升，而阻碍创造力的因素则呈现相反模式。
This study examined the work environment for creativity at a large high-technology firm before, during, and after a major downsizing. Creativity and most creativity-supporting aspects of the perceived work environment declined significantly during the downsizing but: increased modestly later; the opposite pattern was observed for creativity-undermining aspects. Stimulants and obstacles to creativity in the work environment mediated the effects of downsizing. These results suggest ways in which theories of organizational creativity can be expanded and ways in which the negative effects of downsizing might be avoided or alleviated.
