The Social Side of Creativity: A Static and Dynamic Social Network Perspective
探讨社交关系背景与个人创造力的关联，强调静态和动态社交网络概念的重要性，提出弱关系通常但非总是有利于创造力，并描述了网络位置如何促进或约束创造性工作。
We explore the association between the context of social relationships and individual creativity. We go beyond a one-dimensional treatment of social relationships, highlighting the importance of both static and dynamic social network concepts. We argue that weaker ties are generally but not always beneficial for creativity, propose the network positions that facilitate and constrain creative work, and describe three moderators. A spiraling model is presented, capturing the cyclical relationship between creativity and network position. Collectively, our propositions describe an individual's creative life cycle in terms of network position.
