ASSESSING THE WORK ENVIRONMENT FOR CREATIVITY.
开发并验证了KEYS量表,用于评估组织工作环境中促进或阻碍创造力的因素,该量表能区分高与低创造力项目,对研究和实践有用。
We describe the development and validation of a new instrument, KEYS: Assessing the Climate for Creativity, designed to assess perceived stimulants and obstacles to creativity in organizational work environments. The KEYS scales have acceptable factor structures, internal consistencies, test-retest reliabilities, and preliminary convergent and discriminant validity. A construct validity study shows that perceived work environments, as assessed by the KEYS scales, discriminate between high-creativity projects and low-creativity projects; certain scales discriminate more strongly and consistently than others. We discuss the utility of this tool for research and practice.
