Public sector creativity: triggers, practices and ideas for public sector innovations. A longitudinal digital diary study
通过纵向数字日记方法，研究公共部门公务员的创造力实践，分析其想法的类型与规模、产生想法的实践以及触发因素，发现公务员具有创造力但以实用、渐进和反应性为主。
This qualitative longitudinal digital diary study explores public sector creativity in practice, analysing public servants’ ideas, in terms of type and magnitude, and what practices public servants apply in coming up with these ideas and what initially triggered their creativity. Contrasting with extant research and assumptions, the findings indicate that public servants working in public executive agencies are creative, generating a diversity of ideas by applying a range of practices including expressions of autonomous and radical creativity. However, the findings also underscore the pragmatic nature of public sector creativity that is focused on keeping things running: incremental, practical and reactive.
